Mr. Atta Boateng, a former Polling Station Executive of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of the Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region, has revealed that the NPP is planning to bus people, including minors from nearby constituencies to register in the upcoming Biometric Voter registration, to enable them vote during the 2012 general election.

According to him, supporters of the NPP are clandestinely planning to pose as National Democratic Congress (NDC) fanatics to disrupt the Biometric Voter registration exercise to make it look as though it is the NDC who are causing mayhem.

Mr. Boateng disclosed that the NPP thugs had planned doing this by wearing NDC T-shirts, adding that the Abuakwa North NPP Constituency Chairman, Douglas Cudjoe Asare, is the brain behind the looming mayhem.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Herald, Mr. Boateng, who could not hold back his anger, alleged that he had received so many threats on his life and that of his family from the NPP Constituency Chairman.

The former NPP Constituency bigwig wants the NDC Parliamentary candidate, Ambassador Victor Smith, to represent the Constituency in Parliament instead of the NPP’s parliamentary candidate, Joseph Boakye Dankwah, who was recently embroiled in a dirty sexual scandal, with a lady by name Neteley Nettey Yirenkyiwaa.

He is, therefore, charging supporters of NPP in the Constituency to vote “skirt and blouse”. This he explained is because of Mr. Smith’s hard work and the developmental projects he has brought to the area.

However, between John Evans Atta Mills of the NDC and Nana Akufo-Addo of the NPP, Mr. Boateng insists that Nana Akufo-Addo must be voted for as the president.

His decision to take a backseat in NPP was because the NPP Constituency Chairman, Douglas Cudjoe Asare, had hijacked the NPP party and was planning to visit mayhem on the supporters of Ambassador Smith, in furtherance of Nana Akufo-Addo’s “all-die-be-die” mantra.

Mr. Boateng disclosed that the NPP Constituency Chairman had threatened to deal with him, if he went ahead and openly campaigned for Ambassador Victor Smith and NDC.

Mr. Boateng said over the years, the Abuakwa North Constituency has not had its fair share of development. This he blamed on Mr. Dankwah, who once served as MP, but was displaced by Prof. Samuel Amoako, whom he (Dankwah) subsequently unseated.

Mr. Boateng averred that Prof. Amoako had not done anything for the Constituency for the four years that he had served them as their representative in Parliament he continued that Mr. Smith, although yet to be elected, had brought so much development to the Constituency, and has shown to be a true son of the area.

Mr. Boateng said, he would campaign vigorously to ensure that Mr. Smith wins the election in December 2012.

Mr. Smith had among other things distributed DSTV to schools and communities in Abuakwa North; he has constructed the road from Kukrurantunmi to Apedwa, as well as contributing to the on-going construction of the Tafo Market.

When The Herald contacted Mr. Asare on phone, for his side of the story, he said he does not pay heed to a “Nobody and an insignificant person like Atta Boateng, who has nothing good to say.”

He said “Atta Boateng only goes round to collect money from people and always wants to malign him,” and concluded that “he is no good to NDC and NPP and that he should be ignored.”
