  • Some disgruntled supporters Of Kennedy vow to vote against him as they haven’t received the Ghs300 he shared to delegates.

Chairman Larry Yaw has been accused of sharing monies to people whom he believes are supporters of Hon. Kennedy Agyapong.

This has sparked uproar among delegates who are casting their ballot today in Nkwanta South. According to some of disgruntled delegates who didn’t receive some of the token from Chairman Larry Yaw but claim they are supporters of Kennedy Agyapong; they have begun leaving the voting centre even though they were already queued up to cast their ballot.

They have therefore informed Kennedy Agyapong to blame Chairman Larry Yaw, if he loses the election in the constituency because the latter is the reason most delegates are not going to cast their ballot.

“We are all supporters of Kennedy Agyapong…so why did the constituency chairman decide to leave us out from the sharing of token…we are no longer going to vote again…”, one supporter said.

  • Breaking-the-eight-year jinx starts today- Dasebre Advises NPP delegates. 

Broadcast Journalist, Dasebre Agyei Dwamena has urged delegates going to the polls to elect a new flagbearer for NPP to ensure that they cast the right ballot.

According to him, the party’s quest to break-the-eight- democratic jinx begins today. This is the reason for which delegates should ensure that they vote for a candidate who is competent and marketable. This, he noted is Dr. Bawumia.

“The only candidate that could help the party garner enough votes from our weak holds is Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia and this is the reason they ought to vote for him. NPP needs to ensure that they are able to gain enough votes from the northern belts in the 2024 elections to emerge victorious”, he said on Movement in the morning show on Movement TV.
