Namoale Allegedly Engages In Tribal Politics Ahead Of La MCE Selection

It is alleged that Nii Amasa Namoale, a former Member of Parliament for La Dade Kotopong and ex-Deputy Minister, is engaging in tribal politics ahead of the La Dadekotopon Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) selection. Allegedly, he’s campaigning against non-indigenous candidates, sparking concerns about division and discrimination. He is said to have made these remarks at a meeting with Ward Cordinators in his bid to marshal support for his preferred candidate.

The area, which hosts President John Mahama’s office and residence, has become increasingly cosmopolitan. Critics argue that Namoale’s stance is unfortunate and may harm the community. Others question the fairness of excluding long-time residents from consideration.

Demographics show that other tribes, such as the Akan, dominate some electoral areas in the municipality, including Tseado, Cantonment, and Labone. The Ga Damgbe community has historically lived in harmony with other clans, promoting social cohesion.

Concerned youth have expressed concerns that Namoale’s divisive tactics may make the National Democratic Congress (NDC) unpopular in the constituency and discourage people from supporting the party in future elections.

It’s essential to note that the overwhelming mandate of President John Mahama and the current Member of Parliament cannot be limited to indigenous votes alone. The NDC party should intervene to prevent acrimonious campaigns and ensure the sanity of the constituency, concerned individuals expressed.

The constituency executives committee which opened nominations for prospective candidates, have received allocations from 11 people so far waiting to be shortlisted and submitted to the National party for consideration.
