A disqualified National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate hopeful for Madina, Prince Moses Zakaria, says he will run as an independent candidate in the 2024 elections.
He made this statement after the NDC’s Greater Accra Regional Vetting Committee disqualified him.
According to Mr. Zakaria, the committee determined that he did not deserve to be a member of the party and thus disqualified him.
Speaking to the media, the disqualified parliamentary candidate aspirant stated that he is convinced that the MP for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, is behind his disqualification and that he will ensure that Mr. Sosu loses the seat in the next general elections.
Meanwhile, the NDC’s Greater Accra Regional Branch has defended its decision to disqualify Prince Moses Zakaria.
The Vetting Committee disqualified the aspirant who is challenging incumbent MP, Francis-Xavier Sosu, after it was revealed that he served as General Secretary of the United Front Party (UFP).
Theophilus Tetteh Chaie, Greater Accra Regional Secretary, claims the party had no choice but to disqualify him.
