I Will Make Sure Ursula Owusu Ends Up In Nsawam Prison When NDC Wins – Basintale Vows

Deputy Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Malik Basintale, has called on residents of Ablekuma West to vote overwhelmingly against the incumbent Member of Parliament, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, in the December 7 elections. Speaking at a mini-rally, Basintale accused the Communications Minister of alleged misconduct and vowed to hold her accountable if the NDC secures power.

“I want you to do something for me. I hope you know that Ursula Owusu will be a minister for communication in Nsawam. Vote massively against Ursula Owusu and leave the rest to me,” Basintale declared, referencing Nsawam Prison as a symbol of his intentions to pursue legal action against the minister.

Allegations and Promises

Basintale accused Owusu-Ekuful of involvement in questionable dealings, stating, “I have all her receipts in my pocket, and I, Malik Basintale, will arrest her.” He further suggested that the minister should prepare for a future outside of government, implying legal consequences for alleged corruption.

Addressing the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency, Basintale encouraged him to “rest after casting his ballot,” assuring that the youth in the area would safeguard the electoral process. He also warned of retaliatory measures should they detect any attempts to tamper with the election outcome.

Escalation of Political Rhetoric

Basintale’s comments are the latest in a series of heated exchanges between the NDC and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) as election day approaches. His remarks not only spotlight tensions in the Ablekuma West constituency but also raise questions about the use of inflammatory language during campaigns.

While the NDC has been critical of Owusu-Ekuful’s tenure as Communications Minister, such explicit threats of prosecution and allusions to prison reflect the heightened stakes of the election.

Implications

The call to action by Basintale may energize NDC supporters in Ablekuma West but also risks inflaming political tensions in an already polarized environment. As Ghana prepares for its general elections, political leaders are expected to prioritize peaceful dialogue and avoid rhetoric that could undermine public trust in the electoral process.

Owusu-Ekuful has yet to respond publicly to Basintale’s allegations or threats, but the remarks are likely to stir further political debate as the December 7 elections draw near.
