The Constituency Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kpandai, Nyong Robert Saparku, has distanced the party’s local leadership from a recent demonstration by some supporters following the Supreme Court’s decision to quash the planned rerun elections.
In an interview with Adom News and in an official statement, Mr Saparku clarified that the protest, which saw a number of NDC members and sympathisers take to the streets, was neither sanctioned nor organised by the constituency executives.
“The leadership of the National Democratic Congress in Kpandai wishes to state, for the record, that the party has a recognised leadership structure at the constituency level, and this must be respected at all times,” he said. “The party is not aware of, nor has it sanctioned, any demonstration within the constituency. Any action taken outside the knowledge and approval of the Constituency Executive Committee does not represent the position of the party.”
He stressed that the growing disregard for constituency executives and established party structures must stop immediately.
“We understand the concerns of our members, but as constituency executives, we did not organise or endorse the protest. The action was taken by some aggrieved individuals on their own,” he added.
Mr Saparku urged party supporters to remain calm and to channel their grievances through peaceful and appropriate means. He also called on security agencies and the general public not to attribute the actions of the demonstrators to the official leadership of the NDC in Kpandai.
The Supreme Court recently nullified the planned rerun elections in the constituency, a decision that has sparked debate and mixed reactions among political actors and supporters.
The constituency secretary reaffirmed the NDC’s commitment to democratic principles and internal unity, noting that the party leadership remains focused on strengthening coordination and discipline at the local level.
