Late last week, it was reported that some NPP members showed their displeasure on how some of their preferred candidates got disqualified for their upcoming primaries towards the 2020 general election. It also emerged that, curses were ruined on the executives who have any hand of the disqualifications in many forms.
Information reaching thedistin.com is that the party directed constituency executives to, with immediate effect, suspend party supporters who invoked curses on the national executive’s committee over the disqualification of their respective candidates.
Addressing the press, General Secretary of the party, John Boadu, who was upset by the development, argued that some of the aspirants voluntarily agreed to withdraw from the primaries, insisting the action of the supporters did not reflect the ideals of the party.
The upcoming NPP primaries have been characterised by allegations by some constituency executives to make incumbent Members of Parliament run unopposed by disqualifying some aspirants.
This led to streak of curses in which sheep and eggs were sacrificed to invoke curses on members of the national executive committee.
Mr Boadu believes the directives would bring sanity and restore order at the various constituencies.
Mr Boadu made this known at a press conference to outline the modalities for the upcoming primaries. The party also cautioned aspirants against the use of intemperate language.
