The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Constituency executives in Nsawam-Adoagyiri on Friday morning abandoned the party office to prevent one of the potential parliamentary aspirants, Hayford Siaw, from submitting his nomination forms after completing all requirements.

Supporters of the Chief Executive of the Ghana Library Authority who on Wednesday, December 20 went to the party constituency office to pick nominations for him to contest the party’s primaries were denied access to the forms before proceeding to the Regional party headquarters in Koforidua for the forms.

On Friday, Hayford Siaw together with his supporters made up of constituency youth organizers and delegates in the Constituency were left disappointed when they met an open empty constituency office with chairs when they went to submit their nominations.
Neither the Constituency party Chairman, his deputy, secretary, the chairperson of the constituency elections committee nor members were at the office to receive the forms even though they were duly notified.
A well-determined Hayford Siaw who described the situation as an obstruction to prevent him from participating in the parliamentary primaries in a Citi News interview said he will head to the regional party headquarters in Koforidua to submit his nomination forms.

Meanwhile, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, has picked forms to contest the Ayawaso Central Constituency seat in the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries.
The three-time Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ayawaso Central Constituency, who also doubles as the Greater Accra Regional Minister, will be contested by the former Greater Accra Regional Youth Organiser of the NPP, Moses Abor.
The spokesperson for a group of polling station executives, who picked the nomination forms on behalf of Henry Quartey, Bennett Larbi, outlined his achievements in the Ayawaso Central Constituency.
“We decided to come and pick Honourable Henry Quartey’s form for him because he has done a massive job. It is unprecedented. If you come to the constituency, all the major roads are now asphalted… We have never experienced what Honourable Henry Quartey has done before.”
“So we think he deserves to be given more chance, that is why the polling station executives will not allow him to come and pick the forms; we have done that for him. We are waiting for when the time comes; the filing fee too, we will pay… He has done a good job. No regional minister has done that before,” he stated.
