Eastern Regional NPP Chairman Jeff Konadu has dismissed claims of candidate imposition, asserting Solomon Kwame Asomadu’s parliamentary nomination for Akwatia followed rigorous grassroots consultation.
Konadu, speaking to MyNewsGh, detailed extensive community engagements across the constituency: “I personally visited communities and listened to voters before this decision.”
According to party procedures, polling station executives and electoral area coordinators unanimously advised against primaries, citing potential party division. A dedicated research team subsequently evaluated community feedback and candidate viability from a shortlist. “Selection required careful consideration and collective agreement—we prioritize grassroots voices,” Konadu emphasized.
With the NPP campaign intensifying, Konadu confirmed Asomadu retains full backing from party leadership and structures. The chairman reiterated that transparency guided the process, rejecting external criticism as unfounded.
