TESCON in Bono East petitions the NPP over 'fake' names submitted for national executive elections.
The NPP will hold elections for national executives.
Presidents of TESCON will vote in NPP national elections.
The organizer of the Bono East NPP has been accused of submitting a false list for national elections.
The Bono East Regional leadership of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) has accused their patron, Charles Addo Dokyi Yaw, of submitting some unknown names as their members to the ruling New Patriotic Party's National Elections Committee.
According to the ruling party's affiliated group, their patron, in his capacity as the party's Regional Organiser, in collusion with the regional coordinator, submitted false names to be included as delegates in the NPP's upcoming national executives election.
"We write as the TESCON Presidents for the Bono East Region institutions." We have seen a list purportedly of TESCON Presidents from the Bono East Region that has been submitted as delegates to vote in the upcoming National Elections.
"As a result, we write to inform you that the list is false, and the information in it does not represent the TESCON Presidents in the Bono East Region." "It is clear that the Regional Youth Organizer, Charles Addo Dokyi Yaw, and the TESCON Coordinator, Owusu Achiaw, are on a mission to pursue their agenda, which is primarily concerned with their selfish interests and not the interests of the New Patriotic Party in the Region," the Bono Regional TESCON presidents said in a petition to the NPP's elections committee.
According to student leaders, the list of people submitted to the committee by the regional youth organizer is made up of people who are either not enrolled in the institutions where they are supposed to be or are not known in the NPP within the region.
“Majority of the list the Regional Youth Organizer has presented DO NOT school in their institution whereas others are not known in Bono East NPP. We write to plead with the committee to not just consider the list frivolous but treat it with the necessary contempt,” they added.
Attached to their petition is a list of individuals who according to the petitioners is the true list of TESCON presidents in the Bono East Region and are eligible to participate in the upcoming elections.
The ruling NPP has scheduled July 15 to 17 to hold its national executives election at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Ahead of the election, the party is compiling a list of delegates who will be eligible to cast votes during the election process.
