Afram Plains North MP-elect to Consult Constituents on NDC Affiliation
Worlase Kpeli, the Member of Parliament-elect for Afram Plains North, has expressed his intention to consult with his constituents before making a final decision about aligning with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament. Kpeli, who ran as an independent candidate after being suspended by the NDC, won the parliamentary seat in the December elections. Speaking to Citi FM on December 23, 2024, Kpeli emphasized the importance of engaging with his electorate and taking their opinions into account before determining which political direction he would follow as the 9th Parliament prepares for its inauguration on January 7, 2025.
In July 2024, Kpeli was suspended from the NDC over allegations of misconduct, but he decided to contest the seat independently, respecting the NDC's decision. While reflecting on his current political status, Kpeli made it clear that he remains committed to serving the people of Afram Plains North. He highlighted the complexity of his situation, stating that his final decision regarding parliamentary affiliation would require careful thought and thorough consultation with his constituents. He assured that their input would be crucial in determining his next steps and the future of his political career.
Kpeli also addressed questions regarding his continued relationship with the NDC, explaining that, according to the party's constitution, there is no explicit rule that would prevent him from maintaining his independent status while still being affiliated with the party. He pointed out that while political conventions often suggest a leader should align with a party, there is no formal clause in the NDC constitution that would cause him to forfeit his membership. He emphasized that his commitment is to his constituency first and foremost, and he will make decisions that are in the best interests of the people he represents.
