The former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has expressed his firm determination to cast his vote in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary primaries of the party, regardless of the objections raised by the party's National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah. Speaking at the sidelines of the 10th Eastern Presbytery Synod 2023 at Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana Amenuveve Congregation held in Koforidua, the Eastern Regional capital, Anyidoho boldly declared that Asiedu Nketiah has no right to stop him from exercising his democratic right to vote.
As a former national officer and appointee of the NDC, Anyidoho revealed that he possesses a valid voter's ID card and challenged Asiedu Nketiah to come and remove his vote from the ballot box. He vehemently denied that he had been sacked from the party, stressing that he is still a bonafide member of the NDC. He made it clear that he will take part in the upcoming primaries scheduled to take place on May 13, 2023.
Furthermore, Anyidoho disclosed that he is supporting Dr. Kwabena Duffuor in the Presidential primaries, as he believes that Duffuor's competency in managing the economy far outweighs that of former President John Dramani Mahama. Anyidoho explained that his refusal to support Mahama was one of the reasons why the party said they had sacked him. He categorically stated that he is not a slave to Mahama and will not allow anyone to dictate his political choices.
Anyidoho called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to pay close attention to the letter written by Dr. Duffuor's campaign team concerning a fraudulent register for the upcoming primaries. He warned that failure to address the concerns raised before May 13 will have dire consequences and discredit the EC Chairperson as a bad person or a fraudster. Anyidoho accused Asiedu Nketiah of perpetrating the fraudulent register, but predicted that Nketiah would shift the blame to the EC when the issue is exposed.
In a final act of defiance, Anyidoho threatened to seek an injunction on the election if the concerns raised are not addressed before the scheduled date.
