Some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Manhyia South Constituency claim the party will likely be subjected to multiple injunctions before the regional and national executive elections, as a result of an alleged removal of names of branch executives from the electoral register.
The members urged the national executive committee to intervene immediately and resolve the issue ahead of the constituency election.
The party's members, some of whom are delegates, believe the alleged replacement of names of branch executives is likely to cause chaos.
Due to same voters' register brouhaha, Suame Constituency, also in the Ashanti Region was unable to hold its polls on September 22 and 23.
"There are a lot of ghost names in the album. Why would someone pick a form, goes through vetting and you swear him/her into office, why do you have to delete their names on the album?" Jones Asirifi, aspiring constituency secretary.
Jones said that there will be numerous injunctions if the party leadership doesn't act to resolve the issues.
"There will be multiples of injunction not only the constituency election, it can even affect the regional and national. And we don't want that thing to happen," he angrily said.
Another contender for the position of communication officer is claiming that the regional and former executives tampered with the album.
Even pleas to the regional executives, according to Isaac Hayford, did not produce any fruitful outcomes. And in two separate instances, Augustus Nana Kwasi Andrews, the party's regional chairman, dismissed both petitions.
According to him, treating branch executives unfairly is unacceptable since the Constituency expects effective and successful leadership to win power in 2024.
"We can't take it anymore. And we don't want to do anything that goes against the laws or principles of the party."
He said though their concerns are genuine, they will not take the law into their own hands but will impress upon leadership to address the issues.
"The NDC has become attractive in Manyhia South. We want our delegates to elect their own executives to preside over them for the next election in 2024."
About 963 delegates from 106 polling stations are expected to elect constituency executives on a date yet to be decided.
