Dr William Boakye Akoto, MP for Birim North, has called on the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NPP to launch an independent inquiry into how Ms Esther Obeng Dapaah was endorsed to contest the primary of the constituency branch of the party.

This is because ?there is a strong pointer to the fact that there has been a grand conspiracy involving corruption, cover-ups, and blatant lies told from the constituency to the party head office to make it easy for Ms Dapaah to take the seat from me.?

He said this in an interview in Accra yesterday.

He accused the Regional Chairman of the party, Mr Adi-Ankamah, for not taking the appropriate steps to redress the issue after he had complained to him a year ago.

According to him, to save the NPP from becoming a party that ?places monetary consideration over loyalty, I will run as an independent candidate.?

?I will run on my record in the constituency as against her promises, I will comfortably trash and send her packing back to London to enjoy her pension purse,? Dr. Akoto said.
