It has emerged that only the Member of Parliament (MP) for Mampong, Hon. Kwabena Owusu Ampratwum, and the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area voted in the just-ended New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries last Saturday.
The Ashanti Regional Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Benjamin Bannor Bio earlier confirmed only the MP and the MCE qualify to vote.
“The register was compiled according to those who qualify to vote. So in the case of Mampong, only the MP and the MCE are registered. The others are not there because their election has not been scheduled.”, he revealed.
The development is a result of the concerns raised by some constituents regarding the party’s album.
