The Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, Peter Yaw Kwakye-Ackah, has revealed he was treated unfairly in the National Democratic Congress, (NDC) during the parliamentary primaries.
Kwakye-Ackah reaction is in line with a petition filed by the Minority caucus aiming to declare his seat vacant as he has chosen to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
The MP cited unfair and bias treatment from the NDC that led to the endorsement of his opponent (Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe) in the NDC’s parliamentary primaries.
On Tuesday, October 15,Kwakye-Ackah remarked that is focused on his independent candidacy moving forward.
“The announcement went out that I said I had given my support to the person who forged documents, and because of that, the court injuncted it [the parliamentary primary], and the person was declared unopposed. I felt that no, that is not fair. Sometimes they should treat people fairly.
“If you say you are going to rerun, give everybody a fair chance, and if the person loses fairly, he will understand. Why should you open the nomination and just take my money, just keep my GH¢45,000, which is no small money so I have decided that if the people want me, I will go independent”, he told Citinews.
