In a bold move, Peter Yaw Kwakye-Ackah, the Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, has expressed his indifference towards the petition filed by the Minority caucus to declare his seat vacant.
Kwakye-Ackah, a former National Democratic Congress (NDC) member, has chosen to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming parliamentary elections, citing unfair treatment by the NDC as the reason for his departure.
The controversy surrounding Kwakye-Ackah’s seat began when the NDC endorsed his opponent as the party’s parliamentary candidate for Amenfi Central.
Kwakye-Ackah felt betrayed, stating that the party’s actions were unfair and that he was not given a fair chance to contest.
He questioned the party’s decision to declare his opponent unopposed after a court injunction was issued due to allegations of forged documents.
Kwakye-Ackah’s decision to go independent has sparked a heated debate, with many questioning his loyalty to the NDC.
However, he remains unfazed, stating that he is focused on serving the people of Amenfi Central and will not be swayed by the NDC’s actions.
