Limited Registration Exercise: Awutu Senya West NPP Refutes ‘Baseless’ NDC Allegations | Politics

Call us


The Awutu Senya West branch of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has refuted allegations by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding the upcoming limited voter registration exercise.

They refer to a statement by the NDC accusing the NPP parliamentary candidate for the Awutu Senya West constituency, Eugene Arhin, of masterminding a plot to bus “outsiders” to participate in the registration exercise in the constituency.

But the NPP Awutu Senya West branch states categorically that no such attempt has been or is being made by Eugene Arhin who doubles as the Communications Director at the Presidency.

“The NPP in Awutu Senya West state unequivocally that we will not do anything outside the electoral laws of Ghana in the upcoming registration exercise. We will provide citizens of Awutu Senya West, who reside in other parts of Ghana, and wish to come home to register, with the necessary support that they will need; as has been done in the past by various political parties, including the NDC”, a statement signed by the Communications Officer of the branch, Ephraim Aidoo, emphasized.

The branch executives also debunked claims that Eugene Arhin is inducing people with an amount of GH¢5,000 to partake in the registration exercise.

“Our Parliamentary Candidate, Mr. Eugene Arhin, has not promised to pay any Assembly member, be it in Awutu Senya West or any District or Constituency for whatever reasons; be it for the voter registration exercise or not. Mr. Eugene Arhin will use the said amount, if he has it, to help improve the welfare of our Constituents, as has been his trump card as a young politician.”

They touted the faithfulness of their candidate stressing “Mr. Eugene Arhin is a true son of Awutu Senya West; his father hails from Senya Beraku; and Eugene Arhin who has his personal house in Senya unlike the NDC MP, Hon. Gizella Agbotui Tetteh, whose mother hails from Hungary. In spite of her twenty-three (23) years’ experience architect, Hon. Gizella Abgotui Tetteh does not have even a hen coop to her name in her father’s hometown, Obrachire” and threw a challenge to the NDC stating “we invite the NDC to bring the records of our MP Hon. Gizella Agbotui Tetteh to scrutiny, and they would realize that she has been the worst performing Member of Parliament in the history of Awutu Senya West Constituency”.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has scheduled the new voters’ registration for the upcoming December elections to begin from May 7 to May 27.

Re: ADVOCATING AGAINST OUTSIDERS CHOOSING OUR MP IN AWUTU SENYA WEST CONSTITUENCY; Urgent warning to Awutu Senya West NPP parliamentary candidate for Awutu Senya West Constituency.

We have taken notice of the release signed by NDC Communications Officers in which they have made baseless and unfounded allegations against our parliamentary candidate, Mr. Eugene Arhin. These unfounded allegations have become the practice of the NDC in an attempt to shield and cover their underperforming MP Hon. Gizella Agbotui Tetteh over the last three (3) years that she has been the MP for Awutu Senya West.

We wish to assure the NDC in Awutu Senya West that we, in NPP, believe that, based on the enviable records of our parliamentary candidate and our presidential candidate, we will certainly fold the umbrella to rest on December 7th, 2024.

Now to their baseless allegations.

Allegation

The NDC suggest we the NPP will transport outsiders and strangers ostensibly to register in the upcoming voter registration.

Our Response!

The NPP in Awutu Senya West state unequivocally that we will not do anything outside the electoral laws of Ghana in the upcoming registration exercise. We will provide citizens of Awutu Senya West, who reside in other parts of Ghana, and wish to come home to register, with the necessary support that they will need; as has been done in the past by various political parties, including the NDC.

Allegation

The NDC also alleges that our parliamentary candidate has plans to pay GH¢5,000 to facilitate the influx of voters to Awutu Senya West for the limited voter registration exercise.

Our response!

Our Parliamentary Candidate, Mr. Eugene Arhin, has not promised to pay any Assembly member, be it in Awutu Senya West or any District or Constituency for whatever reasons; be it for the voter registration exercise or not. Mr. Eugene Arhin will use the said amount, if he has it, to help improve the welfare of our Constituents, as has been his trump card as a young politician.

Mr. Eugene Arhin is a true son of Awutu Senya West; his father hails from Senya Beraku; and Eugene Arhin who has his personal house in Senya unlike the NDC MP, Hon. Gizella Agbotui Tetteh, whose mother hails from Hungary. In spite of her twenty-three (23) years’ experience architect, Hon. Gizella Abgotui Tetteh does not have even a hen coop to her name in her father’s hometown, Obrachire.

We invite the NDC to bring the records of our MP Hon. Gizella Agbotui Tetteh to scrutiny, and they would realize that she has been the worst performing Member of Parliament in the history of Awutu Senya West Constituency.

The New Patriotic Party in Awutu Senya West Constituency and our Parliamentary Candidate, Mr. Eugene Arhin, are unfazed by these baseless allegations targeted at our Parliamentary Candidate, and would continue to pursue our development agenda to improve the welfare of Awutu Senya West Constituents. Based on this, and with the help of Almighty God, we will be crowned the victors in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

Signed
Ephraim Aidoo
Communications Officer
Awutu Senya West Constituency
