Discontent has boiled over within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Central Region, as delegates across Assin Fosu, Assin North, and Assin Central openly question the decision to move the venue of the upcoming Central Regional Congress away from Assin Fosu.
Angry party grassroots and constituency delegates have pointed directly at what they describe as “Lawyer Obeng Inkoom’s cabal,” accusing key regional officers including the Regional Secretary, Regional Organizer, and Regional Vice Chairman of orchestrating the relocation to undermine the Assin area.
Demanding immediate answers, the aggrieved delegates expressed outrage over what they consider a deliberate effort to exclude their constituencies from hosting vital party events.
“The people of Assin Fosu, Assin North, and Assin Central need an explanation on why they ganged up and kicked away the venue from Assin Fosu,” said a designated representative speaking on behalf of the delegates. “Does it mean that the Regional Secretary, Regional Organizer, and Regional Vice Chairman could avoid the venue in Assin Fosu for no reason, even though we too deserve to host NDC activities?”
Local party loyalists suspect internal power dynamics ahead of regional executive elections are behind the move, alleging that influential figures within the regional hierarchy are working against their interests.
“What is their intention for fighting against the venue in Assin Fosu for the Central Regional Congress?” the representative questioned. “We, the delegates in Assin Fosu, Assin North, and Assin Central, still do not know our crime for this intention to avoid us, and we need an explanation from the Regional Organizer and Regional Vice Chairman.”
Issuing a stern warning to the regional executive body, the delegates made it clear that their loyalty should not be taken for granted ahead of upcoming general elections.
“If not, we will advise ourselves!” the delegates warned. “If they think Assin is only remembered during general elections, no problem.”
The escalating row highlights widening fault lines within the NDC’s Central Regional branch, with local executives now calling on national leadership to intervene before the conference proceeds.
