He, however, appealed to the party authorities to intervene.
In his appeal letter dated Tuesday, January 28, 2020, Mr Addai Nimoh said on Saturday, January 25, 2020, when he made contact with the constituency chairman, Luther Asare, to buy his forms, he was told all three sets of forms received on behalf of Mampong Constituency had been sold.
“He told me bluntly that he unilaterally sold the forms without recourse to the Constituency Parliamentary Elections Committee (CPEC),” he stated.
Francis Addai Nimoh served as MP for Mampong between 2008 and 2016.
