THE Appeals Board set up by the New Patriotic Party to consider petitions arising out of the April 30 nation-wide parliamentary primaries is expected to meet today to consider the two petitions it has received from aggrieved contestants.
The two petitions were received from North Tongu and Okaikoi South and are in the names of Moses Mensah Asem and Vicky Bright respectively.
Vicky Bright lost the primary to Ahmed Arthur who polled 260 of the votes, representing 51 per cent of the valid votes. Vicky Bright polled 246 of the votes, representing 49 per cent.
Moses Asem lost the primary in the North Tongu constituency with 143 votes, representing 45 per cent of the valid votes, against 176, votes, representing 55 per cent, polled by the winner, Nicholas Mawunyega Kwasi.
Deputy Communications Director of the NPP, Curtis Perry Okudzeto, yesterday stressed the need for party members to allow structures put in place by the party leadership to deal with the situation.
“Constituency executives do not have the power to either uphold or annul the results of the primaries in any constituency, as it is purported to have been done in Okaikoi North,” he told the New Statesman yesterday.
