A group of aggrieved supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Asante Mampong Constituency of the Ashanti Region stormed the party's office on Thursday, April 10, vandalizing property and setting items ablaze outside the premises.

The irate youth claimed they had received information suggesting that Esther Dwomoh had been nominated for the position of Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), even though there had been no official communication from the Presidency.

According to the protesters, they were upset because they believed that the 2024 Parliamentary Candidate, Yakubu Yakubu, along with two other individuals, had been promised the opportunity to make recommendations for the MCE role.

They alleged that the nomination of Esther Dwomoh was not reflective of the will of the grassroots members and accused party leadership of sidelining them in the decision-making process.

The situation led to significant damage to party property, with office equipment destroyed and party banners torn down. Eyewitnesses reported that security personnel later arrived at the scene to restore calm.

Party executives in the constituency have condemned the actions and called for dialogue to address the concerns raised by the supporters. Meanwhile, the NDC’s regional leadership has initiated steps to engage both the local executives and the aggrieved members to prevent further escalation.

The Presidency has yet to officially comment on the nomination for the Asante Mampong Municipal Chief Executive position.
