9th March 2020The NPP executives at the Ashanti Region did a poorly vetting exercise and I wonder why is term as a huge successful exercise. These vetting panels were intimidating and forcing candidates to step down for their opponent to contest unopposed. A whole Vetting Panels pleading and speaking poor English and incumbent MP on his knees begging vetting Panels to disqualify their opponents. Few individuals have taking the party as their own business. Do they really understand article 35 (6) and article 17 of the 1992 constitution? And you write long easy to end that it was a huge success. Shameful Executives.

10th March 2020The vetting committee of our great party should remember that after destroying their wilts bank during the 2016 election for this unless unopposed given to we the good people of kwabre east that they shld come and campaign for the small girl because we that feels chartered won’t campaign as we did in the last election. Trust me we won’t get what u got at the last election because the Mp could not help an delegate with respect to recruitment which am a victim.Thank you
