The Constituency Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress in Atiwa East in the Eastern Region has rejected attacks directed at its constituency chairman, who is currently the front runner for nomination as the District Chief Executive for the area.
They described the allegations as unfounded and politically motivated, aimed at tarnishing the reputation of Ernest Owusu Ntim, a prominent contender for the role.
Speaking to the press in Anyinam, the Constituency Executive Committee, alongside ward coordinators, called on the party’s leadership to disregard these attempts, which they say are merely designed to tarnish the image of the chairman.
They say the chairman, Ernest Owusu Ntim, has been a target of a few disgruntled individuals due to the massive endorsement he’s received across the length and breadth of the constituency.
They are calling on the national leadership of the NDC to disregard any petitions or complaints against Mr Ntim, urging the party to reward his loyalty and efforts with the DCE appointment.
The constituency Youth organizer, William Addo Kyei said, “These are the same individuals who were absent during our campaign but are now resurfacing to tarnish our chairman’s image. Their actions are clearly a personal vendetta and should not be taken seriously,”.
The group highlighted Mr Ntim’s commitment to the party, noting that he has been instrumental in expanding the party’s support base, funding campaign activities, and initiating social intervention projects.
“During the recent election campaign, our chairman personally sponsored the parliamentary candidates by providing campaign materials, logistics, and financial support. He also provided school furniture, footwear for students, and boreholes to communities facing water shortages—all in a bid to boost votes for the NDC,” he explained
They further argued that contrary to claims that a parliamentary candidate may be more qualified for the DCE role, Ntim’s long-standing service, educational background, and deep connection to the grassroots make him the most suitable choice.
“A person who contested an election and lost does not automatically become more qualified than someone who has led the party faithfully for over ten years and holds a Master’s degree. Mr Owusu Ntim is our best choice,” he stated
There’s been intense lobbying for the DCE position in the area as President Mahama is expected to announce one of the aspirants for the position.
