The Ghanaian Times says some 'rebel' Members of Parliament (MPs) of the NDC who decided to contest as independent parliamentary candidates after failing to get the party's approval for re-nomination are holding their party to ransom with fantastic demands as condition for backing out of the race.
According to Mr A.A. Munufie, Ghana's Ambassador to La Cote d'Ivoire and co-chairman of the NDC, deselected MP, Madam Gladys Abena Nsowaah of Kintampo Constituency is demanding 100 million cedis, a three-bedroom house and a car.
Nsowaah is said to be already having two cars as a result of being an MP for two terms. Another one, Mr Ishmael Ibn Abdallah, the Kintampo constituency chairman of the party, also contesting the same seat, requested to be settled with a poultry farm stocked with 4,000 birds. Mr Munufie said it was unfortunate that the NDC's own 'children' should behave so unreasonably.
