NPP Ajumako Enyan Essiam: Over 1,300 Delegates Demand Urgent Resolution of Constituency Election Disputes or Face Their Wrath
Over 1,300 delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam Constituency have demanded the immediate resolution of disputes surrounding the constituency-level elections, warning that failure to address the issues could trigger their “next line of action.”
The group, led by chairmanship aspirant Ebenezer Ebo Quansah Eghan, accused some party officials of failing to uphold the NPP Constitution and approved electoral guidelines in dealing with petitions and challenges that have stalled the electoral process in the constituency.
Addressing the media in Ajumako, spokesperson for the group, Lawrence Abiate, said constituency-level elections had been successfully conducted in almost all the 275 constituencies across the country, while the process in Ajumako Enyan Essiam remained unresolved due to what he described as unnecessary petitions and “legal gymnastics.”
According to him, the party’s Constitution and electoral guidelines provide clear mechanisms for resolving the outstanding issues and urged the national leadership to apply the rules to bring the matter to a conclusion.
“We have observed with utmost shock that some party officials tasked to dispose of these bottlenecks are either unwilling to use the rulebook, for whatever reasons best known to them, or are complicit in putting barriers in the way of the party,” the statement said.
The concerned members have consequently demanded that the NPP’s national leadership resolve all outstanding issues in the constituency by the close of day on Thursday, August 13, 2026.
They have also called for an investigation into the conduct of party officials allegedly responsible for actions that could undermine unity within the constituency, with appropriate sanctions demanded where wrongdoing is established.
The group warned that failure by the national leadership to address their concerns would force them to “advise ourselves” regarding their continued participation in party activities.
Mr Abiate claimed that the position of the group was backed by not only by the 1,300 delegates but over 18,000 party faithful and sympathisers in the constituency who uphold rule of law.
He stressed that the growing frustration among members could have serious implications for party unity ahead of the 2028 presidential and parliamentary elections.
The group therefore appealed to the national leadership to act swiftly to prevent the situation from escalating, arguing that a united party was critical to the NPP’s efforts to regain power in 2028.
