Tarkwa: Jittery Mireku Duker NPP Executives start divisive tactics against MP’s ‘competitors’

There seem not to be any lessons learnt from the 2020 parliamentary elections in Tarkwa-Nsueam as party executives have kick-started their divide and rule tactics that almost cost the party its seat in the 2020 election.

To further entrench the position, Executives of the party have denied access to some Electoral area coordinators and polling station executives access to its annual delegate conference based on a suspicion that they support a possible party person who may challenge the incumbent member of parliament at its next parliamentary primaries.

Contrary to the laid down convention and practice about 8 coordinators who are suspected to support  Fiifi Boafo of COCOBOD were sidelined in the distribution of party accreditation to the event. 

The New Patriotic Party(NPP) is organizing a delegates conference in constituencies across the country.

The denial of access and snub of the executives of the party has created a huge tension within the constituency which is yet to overcome the chaotic elections in the constituency which saw an NPP member-run as an independent candidate due to the party’s decision to disqualify her. 

Miss Joy Joycelyn Andoh pulled almost twenty-nine thousand votes against the thirty-one thousand votes by the incumbent George Mireku Duker who beat his closest contender, the NDC’s justice Abban with a difference of 101 votes.

The Tarkwa-Nsueam constituency is one of the strongholds of the NPP in the western region and the party won with a difference of about 20,000 in 2016 elections but have seen a lot of troubles following perceived actions by Executives of the Party to sideline all persons who are seen as pro-Gifty Kusi, a former MP for the constituency from 2001 to 2017.

The pro-Mireku Duker executives have stepped up their agenda of sidelining all persons suspected to push for a new face in the constituency as well as party persons who supported the independent candidate.

There have been calls in the constituency to identify a new candidate in the party within the constituency to represent the party in order to avoid the possibility of losing the NPP stronghold to the NDC.

This has led to the Executives who are mostly seen as pro-Mireku-Duker going all lengths to prevent such calls from gaining momentum.
