Former Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko, has chickened out of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) special run-off election which has been scheduled for September, 2, 2023. He announced his decision to stay from the election in a statement.
According to him, the party’s Presidential Elections Committee decision to limit the number of persons to vote in run-off vote between himself and Francis Addai Nimoh, contravenes the party’s constitution and guidelines outlined for the election.
“It is totally unacceptable to me that such an unconstitutional act can be perpetuated on the altar of expediency. Am I to surmise that the party did not know the cost implication?
“It is unconscionable that the rules of the game will be changed midstream. Rules and regulations that are flip-flopped in such a manner is only detrimental to fair play and justice.
“It is a clear violation of the party’s constitution and the guidelines for the Special Electoral college. It is an unconstitutional act which I cannot allow myself to be associated with.
