Member Parliament for the Binduri constituency in the Upper East Region and deputy minister for housing, Hon. Abdulai Abanga has cautioned the National Democratic Congress(NDC) to stop using the tribal conflict as basis to score political points in the constituency and called on the electorates to vote on policies and not pettiness.
At an annual delegates conference of the NPP in Binduri, the law maker noted that he has done a lot for the constituency and that his constituents will retain him. Among his achievements, he asserted are the construction of the AstroTurf facility, the agenda 111 project which he said is at 80% completion and drilling of a good number of boreholes in the constituency.
“Election 2024 is going to be base on track records, even though I have heard some people talking about tribal issues, which I am sure that in no time they will advise themselves, because it is going to be track records. it is going to be performance, it is going to be about vision for theb community and the people of Binduri and the track records is there for everybody to know. In fact, you pass in Binduri without seeing the brand new boreholes that has been drill by my own resources, on my own initiative a part from the other developmental agenda that the government is providing”.
The Member Parliament noted that he has done alot for his people and he will continue to be lobbying for more projects for his people. He assured of bringing in a medical director and also setting up a medical laboratory for the Bindur health centre.
For Abdulai Abanga, by June this year, the agenda 111 project will be completed and ready for use.
The Upper East Regional chairman of the party, Lawyer Anthony Namoo noted that though the party was in court, per the party constitution, it does not prevent them from holding their annual delegates conference.
Article 17 (29) of the New Patriotic Party’s constition made a provision for the party to hold their annual delegates conference, so the conference is to educate the delegates about the court injunction pending in court and deliberate on party issues and not to acclaim the Member of Parliament.
He indicated that the party didn’t disqualified Mr. Alex Avoka Amolebugri in the 2019 Primaries when he had no issues with discrepancy in his certificates, his age, inconsistencies with his names on his certificates as well as forgery. He stated that Mr. Alex Avoka Amolebugri is also known as Avoka Joseph Azumah, and could not produce his student identity card, and certificates to indicate that he has actually completed the said university which were the basis the party committee disqualified him.
The disqualified Avoka has sought an interlocutory injunction on the part’s acclamation of the siting Member of Parliament for the area.
