The New Patriotic Party’s Appeals committee has been scrutinizing recommendations that some four persons in Greater Accra Region be disqualified.

This emerged from a steering committee meeting held yesterday to review the aftermath of the vetting process for aspirants for the various constituencies.

The fate of some four people is expected to be made known tomorrow.

They include Isaac Owuraku-Amofa from Dome-Kwabenya and Collins Ahinkora of Tema West.

Some supporters from Tema West who got wind of the potential disqualification of their preferred aspirant, Collins Ahenkora massed up at the offices of the Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Ishmael Ashitey demanding answers.

Deputy Secretary for the NPP in the Greater Accra Region, Adams Sabo insists no final decision has been taken on Mr. Ahenkora and his case will be looked at further by the party’s appeals committee.

“Their candidate has not been disqualified although the preliminary results indicated that he was disqualified,” he said.

Explaining the circumstances surrounding the recommended disqualification of Ahenkora, he suggested that Ahenkora may not have met conditions detailed in Article 11 of the party’s constitution.

It is required that an aspirant should have been “nurturing the constituency for at least four years”.

But Collins Ahenkora has argued that incumbent Tema West MP Irene Naa Torshie Addo is behind his qualification woes.

“Everybody in Ghana knows that she is the one that is handling it….. She is the one pulling all the strings,” he alleged on Joy News Wednesday.

But he understands that such tactics are part of politics.

According to the aspirant, he would have done the same thing “If [he] were in the shoes of incumbent MP.”
