  "account": "Several delegates from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency of the Ashanti Region have vowed curses upon party leaders following allegations that their names were removed from the party's electoral register, according to reports. The tension is escalating at Twedie, where the NDC constituency elections are currently being held. These aggrieved delegates claim that qualified individuals were removed from the electoral album and replaced with less qualified candidates, allegedly to benefit specific candidates in the elections. They assert that they have repeatedly reported the issue to the party's regional executives for resolution but have received no response. Consequently, the delegates have resorted to invoking the Antoa deity, calling for spiritual retribution against those accused of manipulating the electoral register. Gifty Kobbina, one of the aggrieved delegates, expressed her frustration over the situation, emphasizing that their dedication to the party should not be undermined by what they perceive as an attempt to disenfranchise legitimate delegates. She vowed to invoke Antoa Nyamaa and other river deities to punish anyone responsible for the alleged changes. The delegates have warned that if their concerns are not addressed, it could tarnish the credibility of the constituency elections and exacerbate divisions among party members.",
