Hon Kwame Asafo Adjei, a former Member of Parliament (MP) for the people of Nsuta Kwaman Beposo Constituency in the Ashanti Region, has expressed dissapointment in the past executives of the party, for looking on for the issues of unauthorized endorsement for some aspirants in the race for the 2024 presidential primary of the party to spread.

According to the former lawmaker, the past executives led by Chairman Freddie Blay and General Secretary, John Boadu must be singled out for blame, for allowing the current political indiscipline exhibited by some aspiring Presidential candidates and their supporters.

Speaking in an interview today, December 5, Hon Asafo Adjei stated that instead of the past executives to ensure discipline in the party, they sat aloof for people believed to be supporters of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to engage in religious and tribal politics.

Reacting to Hon Kennedy Agyapong’s attacks on the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, during his campaign in the Northern Region, the former MP stated that “Nobody should blame Ken Agyapong, who is the Assin Central MP in the Central Region for his comments on the Vice President”.

“If the past executives had taken action on the then deputy General Secretary, Nana Obiri Boahen, who mounted a radio to tell party supporters that he was the driver of the Mamprusi bus and if the past party executives had instilled some discipline in all who went on that route, we won’t be where we are.”

The former lawmaker, urged the current executives to stomp their authority by ensuring discipline ahead of the presidential primary. He was also quick to ask Ghanaians to forgo all forms of tribal and religious politics.
