Some angry supporters of Emmanuel Kotin, a Security Analyst and the Executive Director for the Africa Center for Security and Counterterrorism who has been disqualified from contesting the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries in the Saboba Constituency in the Northern Region, have threatened to defect to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) if the party fails to reverse the decision.
Earlier, the youth on Saturday locked up the party’s constituency office after the party hierarchy released a statement disqualifying Mr Kotin from contesting in the Saboba constituency and two other aspirants seeking to contest the primaries in the Gushegu constituency.
The party hierarchy allegedly disqualified Mr Kotin because he filed a lawsuit against the party, but the statement signed and issued by the Northern Regional Secretary of the party, Alhaji Yakubu Sibdow, stated that Mr Kotin and two other parliamentary aspirants in the Gushegu constituency were disqualified on legitimate grounds.
But the angry youth insisted that the security analyst was unfairly treated and they maintained that the National Parliamentary Vetting Committee must reverse the disqualification or they would defect to, and vote for the NDC in the upcoming general election in December 2020. -citinewsroom.com
