A leading member of the New Patriotic Party in the Upper East Region, Alhaji Abdallah Otito Achuliwor, is of the opinion that the performance of the MP for Navrongo Central, Sampson Tangombu Chiragiaa, is so mediocre that even members of his own party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), cannot appreciate his role in Parliament.
Mr. Chiragia was elected Member of Parliament for the Navrongo Central constituency in the 2020 general election on the ticket of the NDC. STC, as he is affectionately called, polled 26,947 of the total valid votes cast, while Madam Tangoba Abayage of the New Patriotic Party also polled 15,821, and Madam Susana Agoriba Kubirizegah of the Progressive People’s Party also managed to get 503 votes out of 44,343 total valid votes cast in the Navrongo constituency.
But Alhaji Abdallah Otito, who declared his intention to contest the NPP Navrongo central constituency parliamentary primaries, accused the Navrongo MP of being non-performing. Speaking to the media in Navrongo after he joined party members on a unity health walk, Alhaji Otito Achuliwor said Mr. Chiragia is not visible in the constituency to the extent that his own party members are not enthused about his presence in parliament. Therefore, he will not lead the NDC in the 2024 general election.
“Since the NDC took power, we are very disappointed because our MP is not visible at all.” Even among NDC supporters they do not even appreciate his presence in parliament and I will tell you without doubt that their NDC primaries he will lose to somebody else, so I am going to me a new candidate coming 2024,” he said
Alhaji Otito, who is optimistic that he is the best man to lead the NPP into the 2024 general election, called on all party members in the constituency to be united for victory come December 2024.
