Disgruntled supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Effutu constituency of the Central Region have set office equipment ablaze in protest against the exclusion of their 2024 Parliamentary Candidate, Dr. James Kofi Annan, from recent government appointments.
The supporters, angered by what they described as a broken campaign promise by President John Dramani Mahama, stormed the NDC constituency office in Effutu.
They forcefully broke into the office, removed furniture and equipment, and set them on fire, demanding action from the party’s leadership.
Addressing the media on behalf of the aggrieved supporters, Angela Mansah expressed frustration over Dr. Annan’s omission, despite his significant contributions to the NDC’s growth in the constituency.
“James Kofi Annan has sacrificed so much for this party. He has contested twice and worked tirelessly to strengthen the NDC in Effutu. During the campaign, President Mahama promised to appoint him, yet he has been overlooked,” she said.
The supporters insist that Dr. Annan deserves recognition and a role in President Mahama’s administration, warning that failure to appoint him could lead to further unrest in Winneba.
They have called on the President to fulfill his campaign promise, emphasizing that rewarding Dr. Annan is necessary to maintain peace and unity within the party in the Effutu constituency.
