Allotey Jacobs, former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) says he never return to the party even if his suspension is lifted.

In an interview with Oti-based Radio Safari, he said, “I will never join that party again. I’m even old, I’m getting to 70 years. God has been merciful to me, so why should I worry myself?”

Allotey Jacobs was suspended by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in May 2020.

A letter signed by the national chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, said Jacobs was suspended for “persistent anti-party conduct.

“The Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the National Democratic Congress, acting on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, at its meeting held on Wednesday, the 6th day of May 2020, has suspended you forthwith as a member of the party, pursuant to articles 46(1), 46(6) and 46(8) of the party’s constitution for your persistent anti-party conduct,” the letter stated.

Senior Member of the governing New Patriotic Party, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, says former President John Dramani Mahama’s election petition goes against the essence of petitions.

According to Mr Otchere-Datko, who is a cousin of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the National Democratic Congress’ flagbearer is asking the Supreme Court to set aside the will of Ghanaians, which is not what petitions are meant for.

In a Twitter post, he said Mr Mahama is calling on the court to declare a verdict in his favour based on an error by the Electoral Commission which has been corrected since.

A former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho has said that by next week, the whole country will know from the Supreme Court if the dead goat is lost, or the lame horse “and its vulture- allies, have eaten the dead goat.”

The Supreme Court will deliver judgement on the election petition filed by former president John Dramani Mahama on March 4.

After hearing on Monday, February 22, Chair of the seven-member panel Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah announced that judgement will be delivered on Thursday, March 4.

Mr Mahama, who was the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the disputed elections, had brought the case to the apex court of Ghana, praying it to set aside a declaration of the results made by the Chair of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC), Jean Adukwei Mensa, on Wednesday, December 9.

In a tweet, Mr Anyigodo who has been suspended from the NDC said “Did I hear from the forest that, for some time now, a lame horse is complaining that its dead goat is lost?

“Next week; we shall know from a Supreme Court, if the dead goat is lost, or the lame horse & its vulture- allies, have eaten the dead goat. ‘E be ye pinsoooooo’.”
