Klottey Korley NDC mad over propaganda against Zanetor

The Klottey Korley Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has petitioned the Ghana Police Service over allegations that Dr Zanetor Rawlings, the parliamentary candidate forged peoples signatures to get the endorsement of constituents.

Mr Alex Nadutey, said in the petition that “ It has come to our notice that some members of the ruling National Democratic Congress in the Klottey Korley Constituency are going around saying that Dr Zanetor forged their signatures on the nomination form and as an executive, it is very disturbing to the party”.

He said some of the names are Pamela Noi, Nana Gyebi Edusei, Jeffery Nii Yeboah Nortey, William Luterodt and Samuel Kwaatelai Quartey.

“By this we are therefore calling on the Director General CID- Ghana Police Headquarters for thorough investigation to the alleged crime.”

Meanwhile Mr Emmanuel Ashaley Tetteh, Constituency Communications Officer of the party, has condemned a news item associating the NDC’s constituency parliamentary candidate for forging people’s signatures to win the party’s approval.

Mr Tetteh said the news item has come as a surprise to him since the party has embarked on an outreach programme to iron out all differences in the constituency ahead of the November 7 parliamentary and presidential elections.

He told Ghana News Agency in an interview in Accra Dr Rawlings has no hand in the criminal activities the members of the party are accusing her of.

Mr Tetteh said such an issue has neither been discussed before, nor become a subject of concern at the constituency and was therefore surprised that even if the alleged criminal activity merits any attention at all it should have come out at the outreach programme held in Accra on Sunday, April 24.

The meeting was attended by the incumbent Member of Parliamentary for Klottey Korle, Nii Armah Ashietey; Dr Rawlings, Constituency, Regional and National Executive Members.

“I therefore suspect that the publication is part of the propaganda machinery against Dr Rawlings.

“This is not the first time people have taken Dr Rawlings to the cleaners, due to their parochial interests but at God’s given time their efforts to run down the candidate will be exposed for the right thinking Ghanaians to know the political ends they want to serve.”
