Akatsi NDC petitions Prez

The Evening News in a lead story writes that some executive members of the Akatsi district secretariat of the NDC have petitioned President Rawlings to withdraw Mr. Doe Adjaho, the Majority Chief Whip, as parliamentary candidate for Avenor in the December elections in the supreme interest of the party.

The executives are alleged to have accused Mr. Adjaho of a questionable character for which he should not be allowed to contest the seat again because of the embarassment it would cause to the party.

The paper says a statement, signed by Mr. P.O.C. Babbah, propaganda secretary and Mr. Vincent Gassor, district party father claimed that: “Mr. Adjaho has failed the electorate and has been implicated in a sexual immorality case.”
