With nearly six months to the conduct of the 2024 Parliamentary and Presidential Elections in Ghana, it is becoming clear how some constituencies have become a target for victory by the New Patriotic Party in the Upper East Region.
One of such seats is the Pusiga constituency seat currently being occupied by Hajia Laadi Ayamba who is one of the longest serving members of Parliament.
Having presented the Buffer Stock Chief Executive Officer, Abdul Hanaan, as its parliamentary candidate, the NPP has stated that the party is ready to do anything humanly and legitimately possible to secure victory in Pusiga.
“ I can tell you that nothing can the NDC do to prevent us from winning the Pusiga seat. Our eyes are on that seat, our everything is on that seat, we are focused on that seat. Like it or not, we will use every legitimate means to win that seat and that’s what we will do,” he stated.
As part of the ongoing limited registration exercise, the Pusiga constituency has stolen the headlines over series of controversies.
This has been heightened by the decision of the National Identification Authority to pilot the registration of Ghanaians living across the borders of Burkina Faso to be issued with Ghana cards.
The move has been described by some sections of the public as a deliberate ploy to get foreigners to register for the voters ID in Pusiga in order to vote for a particular candidate.
Speaking Thursday on the State of Our, Nation Peter Ayamga Ayinbisa, Communication Director of the NPP in the Upper East Region denied claims that his party is plotting to get foreigners onto the electoral roll.
“we are a law abiding political party. We like to use all the tenets of democracy because that’s what we have chosen for ourselves. We must go by the tenets of the game. So nobody has bused anybody”.
