The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Lower Manya Krobo Michael Teye Nyaunu has dismissed demands by party members in his constituency for his resignation.
Some NDC members in the constituency demonstrated against the MP on Monday and demanded his resignation for what they believe is the MP's needless criticisms of the Mills-administration.
But Mr. Nyaunu in a reaction to the demands of his constituents told Joy News the demands for his resignation are misplaced.
He accused his political detractors of organizing people to demonstrate against him because of his support for Nana Konadu’s presidential bid.
"Majority [of the demonstrators] did not come from my constituency. They were bused from all adjoining constituencies… They came down in their numbers like that,” the MP alleged.
He however failed to name his accusers - not even when Joy News’s Sammy Darko probed further for names.
He said the call for his resignation is as a result of his open support for the candidature of Mrs. Rawlings, a decision he does not regret taking, even if it will cost him his parliamentary seat.
He explained the rationale behind his comments that President Mills is unable to read, insisting that it was made to party members and was not meant for the public.
He accused those who released the recording to the media of doing it on purpose in furtherance of their hidden agenda against his person.
“Whose interest is this serving, but if they continue to do it like this, I fear and I see defeat staring us in the face,” Mr. Nyaunu said.
