Alimosho Stakeholders Accuse NDC Of Replacing 634-Vote House Of Reps Primary Winner With Aspirant Who Got Six The group, which turned out in large numbers, said the controversy was not about personalities but about preserving the sanctity of votes cast during the party's primary election.

A group of stakeholders in Alimosho has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of replacing their primary election winner, Hon. Ife Salako. The group, known as Voice of Alimosho, claims Salako received 634 votes, while the candidate currently endorsed by the party allegedly garnered only six votes. The coalition alleges the NDC is attempting to overturn the primary results, violating democratic principles.

They argue the controversy is about preserving the integrity of the votes cast, not about personalities or personal hatred. The group demands that the NDC restore Salako as their candidate, citing Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution which guarantees the right to freedom of association. They also appeal to NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi, referencing his calls for electoral integrity.
