Independent parliamentary aspirant for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng alias A Plus has criticised the two leading political parties – the opposition National Democratic Congress and the ruling New Patriotic Party – for suspending some of their members who have publicly endorsed his campaign.
According to A Plus, he has relations and acquaintances with several electorates who would not back down from supporting his bid no matter what.
He accused the two parties of victimising ordinary party members while there is evidence to show that senior members of the two parties openly endorse family members and cronies across the board without attracting any sanctions.
“Atto Benya, the NPP Gomoa Central Constituency organizer is my brother. He will campaign for me! If you don’t understand, go and hug transformer! Stephen, the NPP assistant secretary is my cousin. He will campaign for me.
“Carlos, the NDC Gomoa Central communications director is my brother. He will campaign for me. The NPP chairman’s house is opposite my mother’s house, we have been family since I was born. He will campaign for me. Prince, Ghulam, etc are all my small brothers.
They will ensure that I win! “Does Abu Jinapor campaign against John Jinapor? Have you sacked them from NDC and NPP? Does Bawumia campaign against his brother in-law who is the NDC parliamentary candidate for Adentan constituency?
“Big men in NDC and NPP are friends and family but the ordinary ones should be enemies. Continue sacking people who support me.
By June you won’t have even 10 members in Gomoa Central,” he wrote in a Facebook post. A Plus who is popular for being a musician and activist recently activated his campaign for the Gomoa Central parliamentary seat ahead of the 2024 general elections.
The opposition NDC recently suspended 7 of its ward coordinators for supporting A Plus. This was after the coordinators demanded the replacement of the party’s Parliamentary Candidate for the area, Kwame Dean Yawson.
According to them, the candidate falls short when it comes to popularity contest with A Plus and is thus likely to lose the contest
