The National Democratic Congress (NDC) executives in the Ayawaso East Constituency have described the Majority Caucus in Parliament’s call for the annulment of the primary in the constituency as an insult.
According to the NDC Ayawaso East executives, none of the majority members were on the grounds during the parliamentary primary in the constituency, but they want to decide for the people of Ayawaso East.
The NDC Ayawaso East Communications Officer, Musah Ali, dismissed the majority of the demands, urging them to mind their own business.
He further stressed that they are not going to allow the Majority throw dust into the eyes of their people.
Speaking to Channel One News on Monday, February 9, Ayawaso East NDC Communications Officer, Musah Ali, stated, “The communiqué by the Majority is moot, in the sense that none of them was there. I challenge any parliamentarian to come to us and tell us that he or she was on the ground and that this is what they observed. None of them was here, yet they want to make a decision for us and impose a candidate on us.
“The call to annul the election is an insult to our integrity and that of the constituency executives. They must come with proof that the candidates indeed bought our consciences before we went to vote. They must mind their business; we won’t allow them to throw dust into the eyes of our people. they should focus on their constituencies,” he said.
Musah Ali further expressed frustration with the party’s national leadership for initiating a probe into the primary without engaging them.
“No one has come to us to complain that something went wrong in the election. So everything we are hearing is hearsay.
“The fact of the matter is that there was a clean election, and we managed to secure a candidate. As of now, the constituency is united behind the candidate until the party says otherwise,” he said.
The NDC Ayawaso East Communications Officer comments follows, the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Majority Caucus in Parliament has called for the immediate cancellation of the just-ended Ayawaso East Constituency parliamentary primaries.
Mahama Ayariga, the Majority Leader and Leader of Government Business, in a statement issued on Sunday, February 8, 2026, demanded the immediate cancellation of the primary and the disqualification of candidates found to have engaged in vote buying.
