The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Twifo Atti-Morkwa, in the Central Region, has expressed its commitment to support its parliamentary candidate, Ebenezer Dwamena, after he was remanded into police custody.

On Wednesday, July 31, Mr. Dwamena and two other individuals were remanded for allegedly failing to deliver a vehicle after receiving payment from a Twifo Praso businessman.

False pretenses and conspiracy to defraud are the charges brought against the three.

Twifo Atti-Morkwa's NPP communications officer, Charles Amoah, has stated that the party will offer the candidate's legal representation.

“Since the case is now in court, we are leaving it to the legal people to intervene in whatever processes will be done. Her Lordship gave us two weeks and so we are now waiting and whatever can be done will be done early,” the Communications Officer said, as reported by citinewsroom.com.

Charles Amoah explained that following Dwamena's successful purchase of a car from the dealer, he brought some acquaintances to the dealer.

The car dealer, after receiving the money in his account, failed to produce the vehicle, leading the buyers to take the matter to court, resulting in the parliamentary candidate being remanded.

Her Ladyship Sophia Priscila Yeboah, the presiding judge, remanded the suspect into police custody and sent the case to the Attorney General's Office for advice.
