Branch and ward executives of the Cape Coast North constituency of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), have indicated their decision to indefinitely boycott all activities organised by the party in the Central Region.
This also includes the region's constituency elections scheduled for this week.
The notice is served in a letter copied to National Executive Council of the NDC; Central Regional Minister and Deputy; Regional Secretariat of the NDC; Metropolitan Chief Executive, Cape Coast and constituency Executives of Cape Coast North.
Per the letter, branch executives and wards of the constituency, said the leadership of the NDC in Cape Coast and the region has no respect for them.
In addition, the executives and wards of the constituency claim that since the party assumed office in 2009, they have not seen any improvement in their road network, social amenities, human resource capacity building and employment among other issues within the constituency.
The executives also claim that all efforts to get the leadership of the party to address these growing concerns have fallen on deaf ears.
Addresing a news conference at Cape Coast Friday, the coordinators of the branches and wards as well as the constituency executives accuse party leadership of abandoning the core values and objectives of the NDC which they claim they fought for, to clinch power from the NPP.
Baba Hassan Taahir, who spoke on behalf of the executives maintained that, “general zeal of party executives is dead and the party is on the brink of collapse in Cape Coast North”.
According to Mr. Taahir, “the party is simply not well organized in Cape Coast North constituency as a result, branch executives across the various wards within the Cape Coast North constituency declare an indefinite boycott of any party election and will resist any attempt to set aside our constituency in the upcoming regional conference anywhere in the region.”
The constituency executives are therefore calling on the national and regional executives of the party to relocate their MP’s office which is currently located in Cape Coast South to the North.
The members who form the delegates in the upcoming constituency elections want the national and regional executives to sit up or risk getting the party into opposition.
