Assembly elections are to be non-partisan as stipulated in the constitution, but political parties are usually involved in the elections behind the scenes.

The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been blamed for the  bloody fight for a new presiding member in the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.

A Local Government expert, George Kyei Baafuor believes power sharing between the two leading political parties will ensure peace in the KMA.

Meanwhile, residents who say they cannot put up with what they describe as ‘drama’ have issued a warning to the assembly members to produce a PM after the exercise or face their wrath.
