NPP supporters burn party office

Some aggrieved supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have set ablaze the party’s office.

Their actions follows attempts by the National Executive Council (NEC) to conduct fresh elections in the area due to alleged electoral violations that characterised the process.

The supporters, who are unhappy about the decision, say they will resist any attempt for the elections to be reorganised.

Constituency secretary for NPP in Aowin, Isaac Brew who confirmed the incident says the matter has been reported to the police.

Managing partner of Marfo & Associates and a leading member of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP’s) legal and constitutional committee, Gary Nimako Marfo, has called on all persons vying for positions in the NPP from the polling station to the National level to seek resolution of their grievances internally instead of resorting to litigation.

According to Nimako Marfo, evidence available to the legal and constitutional committee of the Party points to the fact that virtually all the cases filed in courts across the country by candidates since the party commenced its internal elections, have either been dismissed or referred to the party to use its internal conflict resolution mechanisms to settle same.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Asaase News’ Wilberforce Asare, Gary Nimako Marfo, says the evidence available to him indicate that the overcome of aggrieved party members’ decision to heard to court at the least provocation is not worth the resources, time and energy spent to litigate.

He indicated that from 24 March to 18 May 2022, about 23 cases have filed and thus far, 16 of the cases have been dismissed by the various court hearing same with the rest either been withdrawn or referred for alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
