Some aspirants in the Wassa East Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Western Region have accused their Member of Parliament, Hon. Isaac Adjei Mensah of allegedly campaigning for incumbent constituency executives ahead of the constituency elections scheduled for October 24, 2026.
The aggrieved aspirants claim the MP's alleged involvement in the internal elections contravenes the party's rules and threatens unity within the constituency.
Speaking during a press conference in Daboase, Mr. Isaac Agyekum Agyemang, a constituency chairman aspirant, alleged that the MP had been meeting delegates in various electoral zones across the constituency and urging them to retain the incumbent executives.
According to Mr. Agyemang, the MP had allegedly told delegates that he would be unable to work with newly elected executives if they voted the current leadership out of office.
He expressed concern that the alleged conduct of the MP is creating divisions among party members and can have wider implications for the party ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Mr. Agyemang has therefore appealed to the party's regional and national leadership to intervene and call the MP to order, warning that the growing discontent could affect the party's fortunes in the constituency in 2028.
Other aggrieved aspirants have also expressed dissatisfaction with what they describe as the MP's actions and inactions regarding the constituency elections.
Meanwhile, when contacted for his response, the Member of Parliament for Wassa East, Hon. Isaac Adjei Mensah, declined to comment, describing the matter as an internal party issue.
