Election of NDC’s Youth and Women’s organizer suspended in Ashanti Region

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has canceled the election of Youth and Women’s Organizer executives in the Ashanti Region.

The election which was set to be held at the Republic Hall, KNUST, was kicked against by a group of aspirants who alleged the delegates’ list had been manipulated.

The group led by Emmanuel Atanga, an aspirant vying for Deputy Youth Organiser, described the 47 delegates’ list as fraudulent and undeserving to serve its purpose.

The aggrieved group petitioned the National Executives of the party, which led to the set up of a three-member committee to authenticate the issues.

The committee after the investigation came out with a delegates’ album of 34.

But the group says this did not meet expectations, claiming some institutions were not qualified to exercise their franchise.

The leadership of the Party, as at 6pm on Friday held a crunch meeting including other stakeholders but entrench positions defeated their agenda.

The chairman of the election committee, Nuru Hamidan, said they are meeting all the aspirants at the regional party office on Saturday to resolve outstanding issues.

According to him, the meeting will determine if they will cast their ballot on Sunday or the election will be further postponed.
