NDC Western North regional election in limbo amidst threat of legal action

Paul Eshun, a candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Western North Regional Vice Chairman position, has threatened to seek legal action against the party’s regional elections if the national leadership fails to address alleged irregularities. Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr Eshun and other aggrieved candidates may take legal action if the national executives do not intervene by 10 or 11 a.m. The regional election director oversees a process riddled with irregularities, according to Mr Eshun, who expressed concern over the lack of clarity regarding the composition of the regional election committee.

All communication about the elections has come from the regional election director, who recently announced some names purportedly constituting the committee. Independent checks revealed that these individuals were unaware of their roles. Mr Eshun warned that growing dissatisfaction among party members could jeopardize the electoral process if the national leadership fails to act promptly, stating that they may secure an injunction against the process if no intervention occurs by 10 or 11 a.m. However, he cautioned that while they would not encourage lawlessness, their supporters might react unpredictably due to their frustration.

Mr Eshun appealed to the national leadership to address the concerns promptly, warning that neglecting the issue could jeopardize the regional elections.
