NPP, NDC ELECT ASPIRANTS TO CONTEST UPPER WEST SEATS (PAGE 15)

THE Upper West Regional branches of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have completed electing their parliamentary aspirants in all the 10 constituencies in the region.
For the NDC, they are Rashid Pelpuo, Ameen Salifu and Yieleh Chireh for Wa Central, Wa East and Wa West respectively.
Sissala West and Sissala East have Robert Wavei and Madam Rawufatu Dubie, respectively, while Alban Bagbin and Matthias Puozah will contest the Nadowli West and Nadowli East seats respectively.
The aspirants for Lawra-Nandom, Jirapa and Lambussie are Dr Benjamin Kumbour, Edward Salia and Mrs Alice Boon, respectively.
For NPP are Clement Eledi, Daniel Dari and Godfrey Tangu for Wa Central, Wa West and Wa East respectively.
Others are George Hikah Benson, Sissala West; Ahmed Issah, Sissala East; Wing Commander Eric Dakurah (retd), Nadowli West, and Ekor Dassah, Nadowli East.
The rest are Lawra-Nandom, Ambrose P. Dery; Justin Dakorah, Jirapa, and John Balooru, Lambussie.
Meanwhile, the hitherto dull Wa municipality is gradually coming alive with some political activities, with party vans noisily blaring out party songs.
As usual, the dominant parties are the NDC and the NPP. Also seen is the campaign van of the Convention People’s Party, although it does not play out any of the party's songs.
The presence of other parties, namely, the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) and the People's Convention Party (PNC) is not being felt, for unknown reasons.
