Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team member, Kwaku Asafo Adjei has voiced strong disapproval of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for allowing former GFA boss Kwasi Nyantakyi to participate in the upcoming primaries.

During an interview on Nhyira FM, Adjei expressed deep concern over Nyantakyi's candidacy, labelling it as disturbing and questioning the NPP's decision to grant such visibility to someone with a criminal record.

Adjei accused the NPP of lacking respect for justice by endorsing Nyantakyi, who has been captured on live camera engaging in criminal activities, to contest for the Ejisu seat.

"How can Kwasi Nyantakyi be allowed to contest for the Ejisu seat with his criminal background? This reflects poorly on the NPP's integrity. Despite being caught on live camera committing crimes, he is given media platforms to speak. This is highly unacceptable," Adjei remarked.

The NPP cleared 9 candidates running for the Ejisu seat on April 7.Nyantakyi announced his intention to vie for the Ejisu seat following the demise of the deputy finance minister, John Kumah. Additionally, nine independent candidates have also declared their candidacy for the vacant seat.The Ejisu primaries is set to take place on April 30.
