‘Tsunami’ rocks Upper West NPP Constituency Elections

Last week’s New Patriotic Party (NPP) constituency elections in the Upper West Region ended with surprise results.

The elections, which were held in all the eleven constituencies in the region, caused shocks and surprises, as elements believed to be redundant in the running of the party were removed.

Some of the contestants who lost their positions were those believed to be in the camp of the incumbent Regional Chairman, Mr. Sanibaye Baselide Kangbere.

Information available to The Chronicle indicates that over 92% of candidates linked to Mr. Baselide Kangbere’s camp performed abysmally.

This has also raised concerns about the candidature of Mr Kangbere, ahead of the regional executive’s race slated for May 27, 2022.

Signals picked up by this reporter, when he paid a visit to some of the election centers, show an   impending defeat for the incumbent Regional Chairman, Mr Kangbere, in the upcoming Regional elections.

Information available to this paper indicates that some newly elected constituency executives are mounting pressure on the leadership of the party to advice Mr. Kangbere to pull-out of the contest, for a new person to contest for the position.

Mr. Rauf Zini, Sissala West Constituency Secretary, in an interview said that it is better for the incumbent chairman to step down because he has not fulfilled some promises he made on the regional executive’s platform some four years ago.

He said Mr Kangbere promised that each constituency will be given a bus and a set of computers but “four years has ended and no constituency can boast of these items.”

He argued that the leadership style of Mr Kangbere in the region has seen a lot of people complaining that the NPP had no leadership.

Meanwhile, efforts made to reach Sanibaye Baselide Kangbere to get his side of the story proved futile, as his phone was off and neither could he respond to whatsapp and text messages sent to him.
