The Akwatia Constituency of the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP, has likened the outgoing Member of Parliament for the area Mercy Adu Gyamfi alias Ama Sey to Jezebel in the Bible for causing the downfall of the party in Akwatia in the just ended Parliamentary elections.
The NPP lost the Parliamentary seat to the NDC after its Parliamentary Candidate Ernest Yaw Kumi polled 18,742 votes against NDC’s Henry Yiadom Boakye alias Okoyo who garnered 19,899 votes.
The Akwatia Constituency Organizer of the NPP Kwadwo Owusu Aduomi blamed the loss to skirt and blouse votes engineered by the outgoing MP who still feels embittered over alleged unfair treatment during the Party’s primaries which led to her defeat.
He, therefore, said the action of Ama Sey is a resemblance of Jezebel -the baddest and wickedest woman in the Bible for not reconciling with the party despite intervention by President Akufo Addo and other revered personalities in the country.
Meanwhile, the Akwatia Constituency Executives of the NPP, have served notice to dismiss Ama Sey from the party effective January 7, 2020, when her tenure as MP elapses.
The Party has also revealed, it will suspend en masse polling station executives who are loyal to Ama Sey and went round to campaigning skirt and blouse votes against the NPP Candidate Ernest Yaw Kumi leading to his defeat in the just ended parliamentary election.
The Constituency Chairman Alhaji Baba Yakubu, addressing the media in Akwatia said, “Looking at the just ended 7th December election, Nana Akufo Addo had 21,758. John Dramani Mahama hed ad 16,181 if you subtract the difference which is skirt and blouse is 5,577. In the Parliamentary Ernest Yaw Kumi polled 18,750 but NDC had 19,990 the difference is 1,239 why should we do this to ourselves. I will not sit aloof for some people to destroy the party. The NPP has a constitution and will deal with every polling station executive or party member who Campaigned skirt and blouse.”
