Addressing the media after filing his nomination form to contest the seat for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Upper West Akyem Constituency, Mr. Emmanuel Drah, who is Chief Executive Director at Semada Groups GH ltd expressed worry over attitude of some members of the NPP who are claiming that the newly procured machines belongs to them, and are pasting their Parliamentary and Presidential candidates posters on it.
He accused the Upper West Akyem District Assembly for unveiling to DRIP equipment secretly without inviting him as the incoming member of Parliament as well as some Assembly members.
Mr. Drah promised to resource the NDC’s campaign team in the Constituency to work hard and retake the seat from the NPP who won it for the first time since 1992 in the 2020 election.
