Scores of supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Adansi Asokwa Constituency of the Ashanti Region have besieged the party office to register their sentiments over the purported intimidation of a parliamentary hopeful, Kwabena Asamoah.
According to the aggrieved supporters, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer in charge of Finance and Administration at the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) was hauled before a disciplinary committee of the constituency, chaired by Chairman Kwame Owusu, for making a donation of a set of hand driers and cash to an Association of hairdressers without prior notice to the party.
The supporters challenged the summons, describing it as utterly ridiculous.
They alleged that a suspected top member of the party was scheming to scare off any potential aspirants ahead of the parliamentary primaries in February 2024.
Mr. Kwabena Asamoah, the parliamentary hopeful, however, calmed the nerves of his followers after appearing before the disciplinary committee.
He disclosed that the committee had cleared him off any wrongdoing for supposedly declaring his intent.
According to him, the meeting was very cordial, and tasked his followers to remain calm and throw their weight behind the party as a united force towards breaking the 8 in the 2024 General Elections.
