Hajia Abibata Shanni, the party’s parliamentary candidate for the Yendi constituency, has requested that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the NPP organize fresh elections.<\/p>\n

This follows the chaos that marked the constituency’s election on January 27.<\/p>\n

The CEO of MASLOC has also encouraged the NPP’s top authority, the National Executive Council, to declare the elections “null and void.”<\/p>\n

The appeal includes video footage of the chaos that marked the elections in her constituency.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Hajia Abibata has requested that the NEC prevent Mr. Mahama, the current MP, from claiming to be the constituency\u2019s MP-elect.<\/p>\n

Drawing from the evidence presented in the petition, Hajia Abibata is requesting of NEC the following:<\/p>\n

Hold that NPP Parliamentary Primaries of the Yendi Constituency held in Yendi on the 27th of January 2024 were tainted with substantial irregularities, violations, infractions and therefore lost its validity.<\/p>\n

Declare that the 2024 NPP Parliamentary Primaries of the Yendi Constituency held ni Yendi on the 27th of January 2024 as null, void and of no effect whatsoever.<\/p>\n

In opposition to the long-standing democratic tradition of our great party and the desires of the delegates and party members in Yendi, there appears to be a grand ploy by certain party officers to collude with election officials and the incumbent MP to rig the elections in favor of the incumbent MP.<\/p>\n

The main players in the scheming were Mr. Fusheini Bawah Kpana, the regional Research and Elections Officer; Mr. Mohammed Adam Bantima Samba, the Northern Regional Chairman; some members of the Party Elections Committee; and Alhaji Salifu Rashid C.O.P., the Northern Regional Organiser, Alhaji Yussif Toyibu, the Regional Treasurer.
