NDC head office vandalised by aggrieved supporters of disqualified Micheal Yarboi

Some aggrieved supporters of Michael Nii Yarboi, a disqualified aspiring parliamentary candidate in the Odododiodioo Constituency have vandalised the head office of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Accra.

The angry supporters heaped refuse in front of the party’s head office and blocked the road slowing traffic.

The Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the National Democratic Congress in a statement issued on Wednesday disqualified Michael Nii Yarboi from contesting in the party’s upcoming parliamentary primary in the Odododiodioo Constituency.

The decision was based on a report submitted by the Special Committee assigned to investigate the violence that occurred at Odododiodioo Constituency during the vetting of parliamentary aspirants held on October 13, 2023.

An eyewitness who spoke to Citi News on anonymity said that “According to them, they want an MP called Don and they have taken him out of the contest. Meanwhile, he is the one who has been helping the community for a very long time. More especially sending the youth in the community to school. They said he is sponsoring almost 13 or 18 students in university and SHS so he is the one they want and not the other two because tye other two according to them are incompetent.”

“One was given the nod as an assemblyman but could’nt fulfil his promises and was given another chance to be a secretary but left the country for abroad and was back to seek the MP position. And the second one was an MP as Ashaiman and he couldn’t fulfil his promises there and wants to come to his constituency to make amendment.”

Meanwhile, the police have moved in to calm the situation.
