Activities that characterise the election of parliamentary candidates for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been put on hold in two constituencies in the Upper East Region. They are the Pusiga and Binduri constituencies.
According to the NDC, there are a few issues that need to be ironed out within the constituencies.
Jonathan Abdallah Salifu, the Upper East Regional Communications Director for the NDC, said this when he spoke to Mark Smith on the Day Break Upper East Show.
“As we all know, the General Secretary made this point clear the last time, with regard to how it is going to be done. With regard to the number of constituencies, you know we are dealing with 275 but in the Upper East Region for instance, out of the 15 constituencies, 2 of them have been put on hold to make way for certain things to be done further before we can go ahead to conduct elections in those constituencies,” he said.
The NDC does not hold the MP seat in Binduri but holds the seat in Pusiga but according to Mr. Abdallah Salifu, “in the Pusiga area, we are looking at resolving certain internal issues there before we allow them to pick [forms].”
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of Kalamed Pharmacy in the Pusiga District of the Upper East Region, Musah Kalamulai, has declared his intentions to contest the National Democratic Congress’ parliamentary primaries in the Pusiga constituency in the Upper East Region.
The idea, he said, was based on the continued sacrifices made for the party as well as the constituents in several capacities.
My quest to serve and represent the hopes and aspirations of my constituents has become absolutely necessary. I have served and sacrificed for both the party, and constituents in several capacities. I have been an ardent member of the NDC since I became a registered voter,” he indicated.
