NDC executives were biased – Sam George
Presidential staffer Samuel George has alleged
that Greater Accra regional executives of the
ruling party openly showed bias against his
candidature in the just ended parliamentary
primaries of the party.

George defeated veteran politician E.T Mensah in
the Ningo-Prampram contest on Sunday.

The controversial young politician won the polls
with 4910 votes representing 63.5% as against the
former Sports minister E.T Mensah’s 2831
representing 36.5% of total votes cast.

The internal poll was marred by chaos on Saturday
following allegations of attacks by both camps,
forcing the elections to be suspended.

The Greater Accra regional chair of the umbrella
family Ade Coker is on record to have described
George as “infantile” when he raised concerns
over the voters’ register.

Speaking to Accra-based Asempa FM Monday, the
Ningo-Prampram parliamentary candidate-elect said
even though the regional executives of the NDC
treated him unfairly, he is willing to work with
them for the party to retain power in the 2016
election.

“Some of them showed their open bias against me
in the various radio interviews they granted but
that is irrelevant now. I am willing to work with
them for the party to retain power and to ensure a
wider margin for President John Mahama in the 2016
elections,” he said.
