The Concerned youth and citizens of the Mfantseman constituency have kicked against the proposed nomination of the widow of the murdered Member of Parliament (MP), Mr Ekow Quansah Hayford as the new Parliamentary Candidate to lead the Party in the 2020 polls.
The name of Mrs Ophelia Hayford, the wife of the deceased MP had come up strongly and sources say the National Executive Council (NEC) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was considering presenting her soon.
But the Concerned Youth of the Constituency had asked the NEC to rather consider Mr James Korsah – Brown as the replacement of the late Member of Parliament (MP) Ekow Quansah Hayford to help retain the party’s seat in the Coming December 2020 polls.
Mr James Korsah-Brown came second in the Constituency’s NPP Parliamentary Primaries earlier this year.
“We recommend Mr James Korsah – Brown to the NEC to be the replacement of our deceased MP as he is known to be active and has immensely contributed his quota towards the development of Mfantseman Constituency”.
As earlier reported, Mrs Ophelia Hayford, a Police Officer had tendered in a resignation letter to the Police Administration.
In a press statement signed and copied to The BBC Ghana on Wednesday, Mr Edward Afful Agyire, the conveyor of the group appealed to NEC to halt its decision and have a proper dialogue with stakeholders before a suitable and formidable candidate could be appointed and presented.
