The constituency organizer bemoaned how the executives including the Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Ishmael Ashittey have turned their backs on Carlos Ahenkorah when in fact “he [Carlos] has doled out monies and gifts to them”.
“I will curse anyone who claims he or she has not collected any money from Carlos.” Read more
Arhin Young said he together with the delegates will force Mr. Ahenkorah to go independent if the party upholds his disqualification.
“We will force Carlos to go independent and campaign vigorously against the NPP in Tema West to ensure we lose the 2016 election” he stressed.
