The deputy general secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahene, has called for the online sale of the party’s internal candidature forms.
His comment is in line with the chaos at the Kade Constituency office after some members of the NPP, who had converged at the Party’s office to purchase polling station forms were left stranded as the party executives had locked up the office.
The situation caused confusion as some members of the NPP believed that the executives were trying to hoard the forms.
The confusion led to the alleged assault of one Kwasi Aboagye aka Aboma.
Another aggrieved man also reportedly pulled a gun to ward off the agitated party members.
It took the intervention of armed police from the Kade District Police Command to restore law and order in the area.

A similar incident occurred at the New Juaben North and South constituencies of the NPP office after executives of the party failed to open nominations for the polling station elections.
Quite a number of party members who had come to purchase the forms were also denied the opportunity as the party office was locked.
Speaking in an interview with Atinka FM’s Kaakyire Ofori Ayim, Nana Obiri Boahene, says he suggested the use of digital means for the sale of nomination forms for the Party’s internal elections in 2020.
According to him, the party did not take his suggestion seriously adding that he was labeled “chatty” for suggesting such an idea.
“In 2020 before the Parliamentary elections, that was the first time I witnessed how people were left stranded as the party executives had locked up the office. As a result, I suggested that we use digital means for the sale of the forms because I saw how Addai Nimo could not purchase a form in Accra and he had to come back to Accra. And everyone was quiet” He added.
