The Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Matthew Nyindam, has expressed frustration over what he describes as early and aggressive campaigning by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of a potential rerun of the constituency’s parliamentary election.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Nyindam questioned why he should campaign when he believes he has done nothing wrong.
“I am not overly worried, but I am certainly not a happy man. I have done no wrong; I am merely a member of parliament. So why am I going through all this? The NDC has begun campaigning in the constituency, trying to sway the minds of the people. Why should I have to campaign? What crime have I committed?” he asked.
He alleged that the NDC has started campaigning in Kpandai to “influence the minds of the people,” describing their actions as an attempt to unseat him because the party is in power.
Nyindam, however, expressed confidence in his chances of victory should a rerun occur, but noted that the NDC bringing its “full machinery” to the constituency could put him at a disadvantage.
“My constituents are aware of what is happening, and I am confident that I will win, as long as the NDC does not deploy its full machinery, which could disadvantage me. If the law is to serve justice, it should do so fairly. Whether we go for a rerun will depend on my constituents and my party’s decision. What the NDC is doing is concerning; they seem intent on undermining me simply because they are in power,” he added.
