Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Agyapong has admitted that a number of MP’s in the governing New Patriotic Party would have lost their seats in the just ended primaries if they were not protected.
The NPP on Saturday went to the polls to elect candidates who will represent the party during the December 7 elections.
Forty-40 incumbent MPs were unseated in a total of 108 Constituencies where the elections were held.
The Assin Central lawmaker, speaking on Atinka TV, noted that a lot more MPs would have lost their seats had the party failed to protect them.
He says;
“The party failed theses MPs I must say. If they did not protect some of them by disallowing a contest, some more would have lost their seats. If your government comes to power and you’re not appointed a Minister, you’ll suffer and be begging for support from people because the demands are not easy,”
“Parliament is difficult so I get shocked when I see people fighting over being Parliamentarians. This should be a lesson to the Party that when they come to power they need to support the MPs by giving them contracts so that the monies they make from these contracts will be used to handle issues in their constituencies.”
