Kumasi, Ashanti Region, Ghana, September 4, 2019//-All seems not to be well in the “World Bank” of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) as some youth groups in Ashanti Region have made known their intention to demonstrate against the government come Friday, September 27, 2019.
The demonstrators have awashed the social media with copies of placards for the intended demonstration, some of which read: “Asanteman Kyefa demonstration, powered by KUYA”, and “Enough is enough, fix Kumasi roads to get our votes or don’t fix them to lose our votes.
According to their spokesman Tweneboah Koduah who claims to have contested the NPP’s national organiser’s position in the past, the demonstration is non-political but involves groups like Asante Development, Kumasi Youth Association and Adansi Youth Association.
“This demonstration is not political. I am an active NPP member. I contested national organiser’s position of the ruling party. I know the NPP will be affected by our demonstration but a necessary evil which will help Asanteman”, he explained.
To the organisers the ruling party has not kept faith with the people of Ashanti for their massive support of the party during the 2016 general election.
They are also not happy that developmental projects initiated by the National Democratic Congress Government like the Afari Military Hospital, Sewuah Hospital, Kumawu Hospital, Tepa Hospital, Konongo Hospital, Bekwai Hospital and Fomena Hospital projects have been abandoned.
