The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Navrongo Constituency is demanding of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the area to resolve its infighting, which the largest opposition party says has left the Municipality without a Chief Executive.
Speaking in an interview on Breakfast Today on Dreamz FM yesterday, Constituency Youth Organizer of the NPP Bayivere Daniel said the party was concerned that development of the area has been brought to a standstill due to the governing party’s disagreement over who should lead the municipality.
“Their infighting cannot cause development of Navrongo to retard. Whatever they will do, they have to do it urgently,” he stated.
“If I were them, even the following day, they should have even resolved this issue immediately. But as we speak, it’s been a month. It’s more than a month and we still don’t have the issue resolved. So we should continue to sit down as a municipality for them to fight among themselves and wherever they will get to, all of us get to suffer.”
He said although it is an internal partisan matter, it is holding up the area and its people from making any progress.
The NPP, he stated, is therefore demanding that the governing party resolves the differences among its members to pave way for the nomination and subsequent appointment of an MCE.
Daniel served notice that the NPP in the area will take action if the NDC and the Mahama administration fail to heed to its demands.
“We are monitoring and if we see that they are not responding, we will know the next line of action to take”.
Faustina Akeyom Abulu was one of the two unlucky MDCE nominees of the President to be rejected by assembly members in the region. The Binduri DCE, who was also rejected, has since been renominated along with others who were rejected in other regions to be reconsidered for confirmation.
However, no decision has been taken in relation to the rejection of the Kasena-Nankana Municipal Assembly nominee.
This the NPP blames on the infighting in the NDC in the area and it is therefore demanding a resolution.
