The New Patriotic Party Northern Regional Executive Committee has endorsed the Yendi constituency delegates album compiled by the constituency elections committee contrary to reports that the party has two separate albums.
The NPP Yendi Constituency Chairman, Abukari Sadiq, is reported to have announced the compilation of another delegate’s album at a news conference last week.
In view of this dilemma, the Regional Secretary, Sibdow Alhassan Yakubu, in a statement on Monday (March 21, 2022) placed on record that the Yendi constituency has one and only one constituency album which was prepared by the Yendi Elections Committee set up on the directives of the National Council of the New Patriotic Party.
“The 9-member Yendi Elections Committee which membership included some constituency executives worked to produce the one and one only album which will be used for the upcoming constituency elections and future elections” the statement affirmed.
The Regional Executive Committee said it is therefore unconstitutional and malicious for the Yendi Constituency Chairman to put out a false narrative concerning the constituency album purposely to bring chaos and disrupt the election process.
The party further urged all well-meaning party members and aspirants to disregard the press conference from the constituency chairman and work with the album the election committee came out with.
Injunction attempt on elections
The Yendi Circuit Court had earlier dismissed an application filed by some members of the NPP seeking an injunction on the recently held polling station election, citing lack of transparency.
