Northern Regional Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned that he will impeach any failed Parliamentary aspirants in the region who dare to contest the 2016 Parliamentary election as independent candidates.
Chief Awudu Sofo Azorka recalled that a similar bad faith exhibited by some disgruntled Parliamentary aspirants during the 2012 Parliamentary election necessitated the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) winning 10 seats in the region.
He spoke to Citi News on the sidelines of a meeting with some of the Parliamentary aspirants in Tamale ahead of the vetting process.
He fumed, “Some people’s mind is if they lose they will go independent and I
tell them if you do that I will sue you straight: if they lose they will do anything to bring the candidate down.”
He tasked all persons seeking the mandate of the people to contest the 2016 Parliamentary primaries to act responsibly.
Chief Sofo Azorka impressed upon supporters and the campaign teams of the Parliamentary aspirants to stop the media warfare.
He instructed party leadership at all levels in the region to be neutral during the Parliamentary contest.
Chief Sofo Azorka, however, served notice that the NPP will not win a single seat in the Northern Region come the 2016 general elections.
He said President John Mahama’s unprecedented record will give him one touch victory in 2016.
He accused then Kufuor led NPP administration of exiting office with HIPC loans it secured for developmental projects.
