The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman for the Ekumfi Constituency, Ekow Esirifie Buckman, has resigned his position to support the parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to Mr Buckman, his decision derives from a raw deal meted out to him by the NDC during last year’s parliamentary primaries.
He explained at a press conference on Monday at Ekumfi-Narkwa that prior to the November 21 primary, executives of the party schemed to disqualify the two main challengers to the incumbent Abeiku Crentsil.
His opposition to the move saw his name “mysteriously” expunged from the register.
He said he could not, as a result, vote, a situation that triggered his latest decision.
