The contest to win the National Democratic Congress primary in the Ningo Prampram constituency is getting murkier by the hour with the incumbent Enoch Tei Mensah accusing his closest challenger of sabotaging him in the 2012 elections.

ET Mensah is alleging that Sam George whom he refers to as his "errand boy" was the cause of his dwindling fortunes in the 2012 elections.

He told Joy News' Kwakye Afreh-Nuamah that George stole a document in his office, put a slant on it to create disaffection for him.

According to him, Sam George went to tell the chiefs of Ningo that the late president Mills had selected Ningo to be the District capital but he [ET Mensah] schemed to have the capital moved to Prampram.

The incumbent MP said the chiefs and people of Ningo bought into that propaganda and decided to vote against him.

ET Mensah polled 18,339 votes representing 71.47 per cent votes in the 2008 elections but that number dwindled in the 2012 election to 21,178 votes representing 54.06 per cent.

He has been in Parliament since 1996 and would be going for his sixth term. The Ningo Prampram ‘Mugabe’ as critics call him is blaming Sam George for the dwindling fortunes.

He said Sam George will be last in the Parliamentary primary, his position as the presidential staffer notwithstanding.

"He only plays his politics on radio," ET Mensah fired

 But Sam George has said that ET Mensah has served his term and must honorably resign.

"Our dear father E.T. Mensah has done a great service for people of Ningo-Prampram. But we believe that his twenty years of service is enough for him to retire for someone like me with great ambitions to take over and continue the good work that he has done for us," he said.

Meanwhile Sam George has been cleared to contest the November 7 primary.

There was a petition which attempted to disqualify him from contesting but after vetting today, the presidential staffer was cleared to contest the elections.
