| KWAME Dzokoto has expressed an interest to contest in the NDC primaries |
MP of Kade says NDC will end up sending comedians to parliament is they are to allow all those who have picked forms to contest. In his words-
“I was very shock when I saw the NDC gurus forcing to join the train to parliament. The party should just be careful they don’t allow comedians into our parliament because parliament is a very important institution,” he said.
Nominations for the parties primaries was opened yesterday Thursday.
The race for the 275 parliamentary slots of the governing party appears to be striking as scores of people, especially young men and women are scrambling for nomination forms to contest in the NDC’s November 7 parliamentary primaries.
At best, what is threatening to hit the current legislative front of the NDC could be described as a tsunami, if one considers how some constituencies are bent on carrying out their threats to unseat their MPs.
But the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP speaking on Adom FM’s morning show ‘Dwaso Nsem’ Friday said Parliament is a very important institution and so they should check activities of those who have shown interest to represent their people in parliament.
He said most of the constituents vote based on popularity of the candidates and not the capabilities of those aspiring MPs so the ruling party should make sure they present knowledgeable candidates to the electorates for selection.
The Kade MP insisted that some of the people who have shown interest do not merit the position they are vying for adding that if the NDC allows such people to contest they will end up packing what he termed as ‘comedians’ in parliament.
