Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, the independent running for the impending Ejisu by-election, has denied rumors that he has switched to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking to the media following the end of his campaign, Mr. Aduomi emphasized that he had a lot of support from NDC members and attributed it to his previous endeavors as a member of parliament.
He angrily refuted claims that he was a New Patriotic Party (NPP) traitor for siding with the NDC.
“I am not an NDC member. The NDC people like me because of the work I did that benefited them. Where have they seen me wearing NDC colours?
“The NDC people want to vote for me because I am going independent and because of the work that I did for the constituency.”
“I am not a traitor and NPP should rather solve all issues bothering all members of the party and should not favour some people against others.
“That bogus elections that they said they held at the polling stations, if the president has the party and the Ejisu constituency at heart, he will ensure that the issues that the people brought will be solved.”
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has asked voters in Ejisu to support Kwabena Boateng, the party’s nominee, in order to prioritize continuity and advancement.
Bawumia warned against giving votes to independent candidates during the last campaign rally before the April 30 Ejisu by-election, stating that doing so would unintentionally help the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its leader, John Mahama.
With the NPP controlling 138 seats compared to the NDC’s 137 in parliament, Bawumia emphasized how important each vote was in achieving a larger mandate for the ruling party.
The former MP, however, has denied the claim, stating that the reason NDC members like him is due of his previous work in the constituency, which helped them.
