The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has entreated residents in the Guan area to punish the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for denying them the opportunity to choose a representative in Parliament in the 2020 elections.

He explained that the exclusion of residents in Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe, and Lolobi (SALL) from the parliamentary elections in 2020 was a deliberate sin by the government and must be punished, according to a report by 3news.com.

“I want to urge you to vote massively with anger against the NPP—the reason is that since independence, we have never had an occasion where, in an election, a certain group of people will be denied the right to choose their representative to parliament.

“It is only Guan constituency where the people have been treated as second-class citizens of this country and you must revolt by your vote to demonstrate that you will not allow yourselves to be treated as second-class citizens,” he stressed.

Asiedu Nketiah further stated that although several attempts have been made to ensure the people in the Guan area vote in the pending parliamentary elections, certain elements and individuals are working behind the scenes to halt the process.
