The confusion that rocked the United Front Party (UFP) over the choice of a presidential candidate to lead the party to the 2012 general election has now gone overboard as both Mr Akwasi Addae (Odike), the supposed dismissed candidate, and Mr Kweku Owusu Antwi, the preferred candidate, have picked forms from the Electoral Commission (EC) to contest the presidential election.
The party Chairman, Nana Agyenim Boateng, who is leading Mr Antwi to the EC office to pick the form, has sworn to use all his influence to nullify the candidature of Mr Addae, claiming that both the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the UFP and the Council of Elders as well as party faithfuls have already dismissed and disowned Mr Addae.
In his own words, Nana Agyenim had this to say:
?He can pick the form to contest the Presidential Election because it is his constitutional rights, but he can only do so as an independent candidate . He can never present the form in the name of the UFP. This is because we have not only dismissed him from the party but have also disowned him?.
