..Goes Independent For Ashaiman Seat
The National Tribute Political Desk Report
Impeccable information, picked up by The National Tribute from confidants of Mr Alfred Kwame Agbesi, the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ashaiman constituency on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has revealed that he has broken ties with his party and is going as an independent candidate to contest the December 7 polls.
The MP, who lost his bid to lead the party again in the Ashaiman constituency during the party's primaries, has finished plans to contest the seat as an independent candidate and will soon shock his constituents with a declaration of his decision.
Though, tight-lipped and stricken with the fear of losing the seat to the New Patriotic Party (NDC), should the Deputy Majority Leader go ahead with his decision to contest as an independent candidate, some executives and stalwarts of the party in the constituency who spoke to the paper, confirmed that the lawyer is breaking ties with the party.
According to them, several members of the party's loyalists have been thronging the residence of the MP to beg him to rescind on his decision but such visits and pleas only fell on rocks as he blankly told them that he would not.
A stalwart of the party disclosed to The National Tribute: "We visited him on the issue of his decision to run as an independent candidate and he confirmed it. He told us clearly that he had decided to go independent because of what happened during the primaries. According to Mr. Agbesi 'This young man came here to share bags of rice and oil and thinks he can just fool the people of Ashaiman.'
