Kwabena Owusu Aduomi has vehemently dismissed allegations that he is a member of the oppostiton National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In an address to the media ahead of the Ejisu By-election, the former member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Aduomi reiterated that, as much as he is not a member of the opposition party, he is loved and admired by the NDC due to his credibility and fairness.

He said, “I am not an NDC member. The NDC people like me because of the work I did that benefited them. Where have they seen me wearing NDC colours? The NDC people want to vote for me because I am going independent and because of the work that I did for the constituency.”

Being described as a traitor by members of his former party, the Independent candidate intensely dismissed the notions that he is a traitor. He rather urged members of the NPP to solve their internal issues and stop throwing shades at him, describing him as a traitor.  

He noted, “I am not a traitor and NPP should rather solve all issues bothering all members of the party and should not favour some people against others."

“That bogus elections that they said they held at the polling stations, if the president has the party and the Ejisu constituency at heart, he will ensure that the issues that the people brought will be solved,” he stated.

The Ejisu by-election became necessary following the sudden passing of the Member of Parliament, John Kumah after battling with ill-health for a short period.

The Ejisu constituency is a strong hold for the NPP but there narrative is taking a different following the intention of a former Member of Parliament for the NPP, standing as the independent candidate.
