NPP Youth Who Painted Fomena Party Office In NDC Colors To Be Penalized …John Boadu

The General Secretary for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has said that aggrieved NPP members who symbolically painted the Constituency office of the NPP in the colors of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will be punished.

He gave the assurance while addressing a press conference on the development.

“As I intimated, all those behind this untoward act will be dealt with severely because we’ve not opened nomination in Fomena so there is no way anybody could have given forms to even the party at the constituency level let alone giving it to another candidate so it is false information that party members depended on to misbehave in the manner they did and we are not going to take that matter lightly at all,” he said.

Some youth of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Fomena Constituency where Second Deputy Speaker, Andrew Asiamah Amoako is MP, went to town in a protest over allegations that the national leadership of the party was trying to foist a new parliamentary candidate on them.

According to the youth, evidence of this move by the party leadership is the fact that the leadership has not opened nominations in the constituency.

The angry youth then symbolically painted the party’s office in the colors of the opposition party.

But addressing the press on the development, John Boadu, denied that there is any attempt by the party to impose a candidate on the people of Fomena.

“The party could not and did not and could not have sent nomination forms to Fomena for the conduct of elections let alone to have handed all such forms to the Independent Member of Parliament as alleged which then erroneously formed the basis for the disturbances we witnessed at the constituency including the painting of the party’s office with NDC colours,” he said.
