They pointed out that there was media reports which went viral that the former NDC branch Chairman of Chenbroso Brakwa, Honorable Edward Obeng Nash has caught the Deputy Director of Election of the NDC in the Asikuma Odoben Brakwa Constituency, Mr Yaw Sam for keeping the constituency voters register album/Green Book in his personal car boot.
Mr Nash who speaking as a spokesperson for the aggrieved members and supporters of the party in the constitueny revealed that since Yaw Sam has in the custody of the book which supposed to be in the store room of the party constituency office, he managed to allegedly alter or change the information on the book by way of removing the name of a stauch member of the NDC in the area, Mr. William Adu Oduro who is currently lacing his boot to contest the parliamentary primaries on the ticket of the NDC in the area.
According to Honorable Nash, Mr Yaw Sam managed to remove the name of William Adu Oduro whose branch number is 160430126 from the NDC's Asikuma Odoben Brakwa voters register album and replaced his name with Joseph Ankan Adu who is an elder brother of William Adu Oduro.
Honorable Nash showcased series of the documentary envidences to prove to his claim that indeed Mr Sam has altered the information on the constituency voters register album/Green Book which they are used to vote in electing the NDC's parliamentary candidate in the area.
Mr. Nash spilled the beans of the mafia tactics of Mr Sam when he was speaking on an Asikuma-based Hope FM on Monday January 30, 203 when DAILY Analyst newspaper and Soireenews.com were first came out with the story.
Mr. Nash who doubles as the Assembly member for Chenbroso Electoral Area jumped into the defence of Mr Oduro, saying that during the time that they were doing NDC constituency membership registration in the 2018, Mr. Oduro came to write his name as a member of the party.
According to him, Mr Oduro comes to write his name and left, saying that by the grace of God, the NDC has opened the nomination for the incoming parliamentary election and that Mr Oduro has declared his decision to contest the election on the ticket of the NDC.
He said that since they overheard that the constitueny executives have removed some names of the members of the NDC from the constituency voters album/Green Book in the previous elections, they suspected and thaught that the same things were going to happen in the NDC's upcoming parliamentary election.
In this regard, Mr. Nash stated that they wrote an official letter to the constituency executives and requested in their letter to know whether the name of Mr. Oduro is written correctly or is intact in the green book.
In their letter, he added that they also requested to know whether Mr Oduro has his name with his branch number in the Green Book.
Mr. Nash pointed out that when they sent the letter to the constituency executives, for the past weeks they had not responded to the letter.
He said that when they had followed up with the letter to get the response from the executives, they were shocked to their bone when the constituency executives kept tossing them with flimsy excuses.
"These constituency executives would tell us that they are going to response to us today or tomorrow whenever we called for respond.
"And that when we called several times, they were not be able to respond to us about what we requested from them," the Assembly man noted.
He asserted that the Director of Election of the constitueny, Mr Abdulla sent him messages that the letter they brought to the constituency executives, he wanted to meet them on Friday January 28,2024 around 2:30 pm.
He indicated that he left Brakwa around 1:30 pm and went to the NDC constituency office together with Mr Tetteh Shai to be his witness.
He indicated that the two went to sit at the premises of the office for almost two hours but Mr Abdulla has not showed up.
According to him, Mr Abdulla got to the party office around 3:00 pm, saying that when he arrived, Mr Abdulla informed them that Mr Yaw Sam is also on his way coming to the meeting.
Mr Nash indicated that he together with Tetteh Shai sat at the premises of office for almost one hour but Yaw Sam has not showed up.
Latter, he pointed out that when Yaw Sam arrived, Mr Abdulla came to inform them that they don't have the key to open the office for them to sit to have the meeting and that the key is with the constituency secretary, Mr Kofi Paul.
"Interestingly, when Kofi Paul arrived at the office with the motor bike and came to open the office, and at the time that they were climbing the stairs of the storey building to the office, something told him to look at his back and since the office is the storey building he saw that Yaw Sam has opened his car boot and removed some green books from the boot," he stated.
" We are surprised that Yaw Sam managed to keep the green books in his personal car boot which supposed to be kept in the constituency office as if the book is his family bonifade property which action is completely against the constitution of the NDC," he stated.
He added that when they were climbing the stairs of the storey building he confronted Mr Yaw Sam and asked him that the Green Books that he is keeping in personal car boot where is it coming from?
Mr Nash who has been a branch Chairman for the past twelve years noted that Mr Yaw Saw told him that they should go and that he kept mute.
"So when we entered into the party office he thought the Green Books were kept in the store room of the office but to his surprise he saw that the books that Yaw Sam removed from his car boot that he (Yaw Sam) puts before them and asked us that they should check that the person that they mentioned in their letter that they wanted to find whether his name is in the green book actually has his name in the book," Mr Nash narrated.
He said the compilation of the list of the names of the NDC members were done by him together with the constituency women's organiser, Madam Rahel Ofori and that he knows the various pages of where the names of all the members of the NDC were listed.
"I together with Madam Rahel Ofori has compiled into the book almost two hundred names of the members of the NDC and we are surprised that Yaw Sam and his followers have managed to reduce the names of the members of the NDC in the area to 144. These practices of Yaw Sam and followers are very outrageous and completely criminal which needs to be investigated," Mr Nash stressed.
According to him, at the time Yaw Sam handed over the Green book to him, he moved directly to the page of where Mr Oduro name was listed in the book.
"But surprisingly when l reached to the middle page, l realized that Yaw Sam has managed to remove the middle page of where the name of Mr Oduro is listed from the Green book without the knowledge of me and that of Madam Rahel Ofori who compiled or wrote the names of the various members of the NDC in the area," he stated.
He said Yaw Sam removed the name of Mr Oduro from the Album/Green Book and secretly used different pen with his hand written to rewrite the different name in place of Mr Oduro.
"I told Yaw Sam that you have removed some pages from the book and pointed out to Yaw Sam that these hand written of the letters of the words of the name in the book, l thaught that you were the one who has rewrote them.
"Because the book supposed to be in the constitueny party office and that the pages which were removed from the book were done by you. Interestingly, Mr Abdulla and Kofi Paul were present before l am talking to Yaw Sam on his bad behavior of removing the names of Mr Oduro and other members of the NDC from the book.
"Very annoying what Yaw Sam told me was, we should go and invoke a curse. You see the whole Deputy Director of Election who told me that we should to invoke a curse? So l told Yaw Sam that it was not invoking of curse that we came to meet them, because we wrote letter to the constituency executives to find out before you people were tossing us on our decision to conduct verification of the names on the book.
"I have questioned Yaw Sam that why is it that he manages to keep the constituency book at his house and to achieve their long planning agenda to remove names of some members and supporters closed to some potential candidates who are interested to contest the parliamentary election on the ticket of the NDC against their constituency executives favorite contestant. It is something that Yaw Sam and his followers had been doing for long time," he noted.
According to him, Yaw Sam and his followers did the same in the just ended constituency executives election.
"So Yaw Sam and his followers are planning to use the same mafia tactics in the incoming parliamentary election to pave way for someone to contest the election unopposed.
"And we want to tell the executives of the NDC in the constituency that the unopposed songs that they are singing for in whatever means they will not succeed," Mr. Nash vowed.
