A group of ward and branch executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Lower Manya Krobo Constituency, calling themselves the Grassroots of the NDC, is demanding the immediate withdrawal of the Municipal Chief Executive nominee, John Atter Matey.
Mr. Matey, who currently serves as the NDC Constituency Chairman, was nominated by the President for the MCE position. However, the group has described the nomination as a betrayal of loyalty, long service, and the democratic will of the grassroots.
At a press conference held at the party’s office in Nuaso, convenor and branch chairman, Odonkor David Dei, criticised the nomination.
“We have competent men and women who are widely known within the party, know the party’s structure, are unifiers, loyal and have been serving the party for more than three decades. These individuals applied for the same position as him but yet they were disregarded.
“We want the world to know that the choice of the people has been denied by the president and the national leadership of the party. Loyalty and long service to the party have been thrown to the dustbin, paving the way for inexperience and arrogance,” he said.
