The women’s wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Suame Constituency has called on the party’s regional and national executives to urgently address grievances affecting grassroots structures.
They accused the Municipal Chief Executive for Suame, Frank Owusu Ansah, of nepotism and of neglecting party members.
The group alleged that the MCE has consistently channelled opportunities, positions and contracts to friends, family members and individuals outside the NDC.
Speaking at a press conference, the Constituency Women Organiser, Asmawu Bello, popularly known as Empress, claimed that active party members, particularly women, have been excluded from opportunities since he assumed office.
“We have worked hard to bring our party to power, but our MCE has treated our party members poorly, especially the constituency executives and the Women’s Wing,” she said.
She further alleged that the MCE had denied party members’ children scholarship opportunities and diverted contracts for roads and boreholes—originally intended for party executives—to members of the opposition.
She warned that the situation was creating apathy within the party and could affect the NDC’s chances in the 2028 general elections if not addressed.
“There is growing apathy within the NDC. Some branch executives have stopped attending party meetings due to a lack of roles since the government took office. We feel abandoned as the Women’s Wing because we have no one to support us,” she added.
Several branch women organisers present at the meeting also expressed similar concerns, saying the current situation was demoralising grassroots members who contributed to the party’s electoral success.
The group is calling on party leadership to investigate the allegations and ensure that appointments and contracts reflect the contributions of members at the constituency level.
Meanwhile, efforts to obtain a response from the Suame MCE, Frank Owusu Ansah, were unsuccessful as he declined to comment.
