APC congress: Sympathizers outnumber party members

A congress by Hassan Ayariga’s All People’s Congress is underway to elect the party’s presidential candidate for the 2016 polls but that will not go without drama as StarrFMonline.com has learnt sympathizers outnumber the delegates at the congress.

Starr News’ Kobby Gomez Mensah who is covering the congress reports that many of the supposed delegates also appear as though they were merely given party T-shirt to show up, without any knowledge of the party. Many children have also reportedly thronged the conference center to witness proceedings.

According to Gomez Mensah, all the political parties, except the NDC and NPP have sent representatives to offer their solidarity messages.

Mr. Ayariga who led the PNC in the 2012 elections formed the APC after he failed to clinch the flagbearership slot for the party for the 2016 polls. He lost the slot to veteran and former flagbearer, Dr. Edward Mahama.
