Kumawu NDC office vandalised in protest against nomination of ex-PC as DCE

The Kumawu Zongo branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) opposes the nomination of Mr. Akwasi Amankwaa as DCE.

Zongo youth vandalized the party's Kumawu office to express their anger. They believe nominating Mr. Amankwaa insults the intelligence of Zongo communities in Sekyere Kumawu.

Mr. Sualey Olanto Yakubu, Secretary of the constituency Elections Directorate, spoke at a press conference. He claimed that Mr. Amankwaa made derogatory comments about Zongos. He allegedly said he would not allow a native from Zongo to lead the party.

Mr. Yakubu emphasized that the Zongo community played a vital role in recent elections. Their grievances need to be addressed.

The youth support Shamsu Huda for the DCE position. He is the deputy constituency secretary and has worked hard for the party's success.

They urged President John Dramani Mahama and the Local Government Minister to appoint Mr. Huda. If not, they warned they would take further action.
