The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Secretary for Asikuma Odeben Brakwa, Marklord Afori, says the defected member of the party, Mr. Eric Kwesi Taylor is already under suspension for exhibiting anti- party conduct.
An aspiring Parliamentary Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for Asikuma Odoben Brakwa Constituency, Mr. Eric Kwesi Taylor issued a letter announcing his defection to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
After the announcement, it was suggested that the said Taylor is the parliamentary candidate for the party in the Asikuma Odoben Brakwa.
Speaking to Host of Atinka FM’s AM Drive Ekourba Gyasi, Marklord Afori, said although the said Mr. Eric Kwesi Taylor was a member of the Asikuma Odoben NDC, he was suspended for what the party described as Anti NDC conduct.
He noted that Taylor Eric Kwesi, who claimed to be a member of the NDC seized every opportunity he got to cast innuendos on the NDC presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama.
He explained that Taylor Eric Kwesi is only an aspiring parliamentary candidate in the constituency and not the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for the Asikuma Odoben Brakwa Constituency in the December polls.
“ Alhaji Alhasan Kwabena Duncan is our parliamentary candidate and it is not true that he has resigned. He is working towards his victory come December 7. Taylor Eric Kwesi in 2009 contested the constituency youth organizer, but had only 5 votes out of the 121 total vote cast. In 2018, he also expressed interest in contesting the parliamentary elections, but also had only 42 out of the 1,236 of the total vote cast”, constituency secretary Marklord Afori added.
