Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, former Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Asawase, has accused the National Democratic Congress leadership of plotting to remove him from the Asawase constituency during the party’s primaries on Saturday.
Muntaka claims that some members of the party’s leadership have been trying to get him out of Parliament for some time.
Speaking to journalists a few days after the party’s primaries, Mohammed Muntaka stated that the recent change in the Minority Leadership in Parliament was part of the big plan.
“I can tell you, it was part of the strategy to get me out. No political person won’t say that wasn’t part of the strategy to get me out. Avedzi wasn’t contesting again, Haruna didn’t have any contenders and I was the only one who had a contender, so to have done that at that time was part of the strategy to get me out.“But like I keep saying, God is not their village Chief, God doesn’t hate people because you hate them.”For the Asawase constituency parliamentary race, Muntaka faced tight competition from Masawudu Mubarick.He did, however, win with 1,063 of the total valid votes cast, while his major rival, Masawudu Mubarick, trailed with 735 votes.
