Former Minority Chief Whip and
Member of Parliament for Asawase, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak has accused the
leadership of the National Democratic Congress of scheming to oust him from the
Asawase constituency during the party’s primaries on Saturday.
According to Muntaka, some
individuals within the party’s leadership have been plotting to get him out of
Parliament for some time now.
Speaking to journalists days after
the party’s primaries, Mohammed Muntaka said the recent change in the Minority
Leadership in Parliament was part of the grand agenda.
“I can tell you, it was part of the
strategy to get me out. No political person won’t say that wasn’t part of the
strategy to get me out. Avedzi wasn’t contesting again, Haruna didn’t have any
contenders and I was the only one who had a contender, so to have done that at
that time was part of the strategy to get me out.
“But like I keep saying, God is not
their village Chief, God doesn’t hate people because you hate them.”
Muntaka faced a stiff contest from
Masawudu Mubarick for the Asawase constituency parliamentary race.
He, however, emerged victorious
with 1,063 of the total valid votes cast while his main contender, Masawudu
Mubarick trailed with 735 votes.
