According to our sources, the party had worked very hard over the years at bridging the gap and scooping the parliamentary seat from the incumbent New Patriotic Party's candidate Hon. Appiah Pinkrah.
The NDC parliamentary candidate Samuel Oppong who contested against the incumbent MP in the 2012 and 2016 elections had been retained by the delegates as the favorite choice for this year's elections.
Thus was the case until recently one Joseph Azumah who happens to be the constituency secretary was found touting himself as the NDC's parliamentary candidate without the approval of the delegates.
The advent of Joseph Azumah's faction in the party has sharply divided the party at the grassroots, with the majority still rooting for Samuel Oppong who had represented the party since 2012.
The constituency delegates and branch executives have threatened to boycott the parliamentary elections after a petition was sent to the National and Regional Executives of the party to call Joseph Azumah to order and ask him to step down.
Our checks have reliably confirmed that after 16 years of representation in parliament by the NPP's Hon. Appiah Pinkrah, the NDC stands a great chance of grabbing the seat especially when the incumbent MP is not contesting this year as the mantle has been handed over to a greenhorn Alex Blankson.
According to one of the delegates, "the attention of the NEC is being draw to this matter in order to ensure the integrity and sustainability of the NDC party in Adansi Akrofuom "
