The Deputy Spokesperson for Alan Kyerematen, Richard Nyamah, has accused the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of meting out selective justice.
According to him, since a regional coordinator of the Alan Kyerematen campaign team was assaulted in Nalerigu in the North East region during the super delegates’ conference, the party is yet to reach out to the victim or condemn the violence that erupted.
He said the actions and inaction of the party are sending a clear message that those on the Alan team are unwanted.
Speaking on JoyFM’s Top Story, he said, “Do you realise since this incident happened, it’s been four days? Have you heard or seen any condemnation officially from the NPP as a party? The NPP as a party has officially not reached out to us, not the agent that was beaten to pulp and his eye virtually bulged out, nobody has bothered because it doesn’t matter, it has happened to an Alan agent.”
He said the party has managed to reach out to persons who it accuses of breaching party regulations through their utterances captured on social media and on television, and hauled them before a disciplinary committee.
However, despite the widespread reportage on the violence that erupted in the North East region, the same party has failed to even speak to it or invite known culprits for sanctions.
“If it was someone else’s agent, we will hear about it. But the party is calling people, look, let me point it out to you, Kennedy Agyapong was called to the disciplinary committee based on what they saw on TV or some social media, right? Hopeson Adorye was hauled there because of what they’ve seen or heard on social media right?
“This [the attack on the agent] also played out in the main media and social media, culprits are there, they know that the youth organizer and the national coordinator nearly lynched this guy and somehow nobody is bothered because they are Alan’s people.
“And the persons who perpetrated this were the vice president’s people. So there is selective justice here. So, we have realised that the party doesn’t seem to be bothered about us,” he said.
Meanwhile, Alan Kyerematen, an aspiring NPP flagbearer, says he will not tolerate the indiscipline that led to the attack on his agent in Nalerigu.
He is calling on the party’s leadership to act swiftly.
“What happened to my colleague on Saturday was an act of total indiscipline and indecent behavior. How do we as a decent party going into an election, particularly at the level of super delegates superintend such behavior?
“I mean, look, we all joined the NPP because of our commitment to the values of the party. But what is happening clearly shows that this is not what we bargained for by joining the party. I’m not going to tolerate this kind of behavior, it doesn’t make sense.
“And when we cannot conduct ourselves as a family trying to select a leader in a peaceful and organized manner, how do we intend to be able to do the same kind of process when we have 200,000 delegates?” he quizzed.
