NPP Regional Elections: Disqualified Youth Organizer Aspirant Cleared To Contest

One of the aspirants of the Regional Youth Organiser position for Ashanti region, Kwaku Frimpong was cleared to be eligible to contest in the upcoming regional congress of the ruling New Patriotic Party.

The decision to uphold his petition which was communicated to him on the evening of Tuesday, April 17, 2018, was as a result of their finding that the information on which he was disqualified by the vetting committee was false.

In an interview with this reporter, Kwaku Frimpong said even though his campaign was slowed a bit, he is sure he will surely win the Youth Organiser position in the upcoming contest.

“My detractors were scared of the serious inroads I had made in the region, knowing that I will surely win the upcoming elections so they tried to use unorthodox means to get me disqualified but my God has spoken”. He noted.

He continued that ‘they meant it for my failure but God turned it in my favour rather’, explaining that the delegates are even empathizing with him now than ever.

He expressed his appreciation to the numerous delegates who commiserated with him and called him on several occasions to encourage him never to give up. He also thanked members of the Appeals Committee of the party in the region.

According to him, he wants to be silent on the reasons for his disqualification due to unity and coherence in the party and rather look on to his upcoming victory on Saturday.

Kwaku Frimpong who is contesting the Regional Youth Organiser position for the third time noted that ‘everyone including those contesting me know that this is my time, and by God’s grace I will win it’.

He noted that his serviceable, affable and party-man nature will not change because of even after he wins the position and will surely be ever accessible to the youth of the party.
