Recent documents seen by The Feather Post suggest that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is backing former Ejisu Member of Parliament, Kwame Owusu Aduomi, in the Ejisu by-election.
Kwame Owusu Aduomi has defected from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to contest as an independent candidate in today’s by-election.
Prior to the election, the NPP accused Kwame Owusu Aduomi of being linked to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and receiving support from the party.
In response, Kwame Owusu Aduomi denied the allegation, implying that any NDC support could be due to his successful initiatives during his time as a legislator.

Nevertheless, a document shared by former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, appears to confirm Mr. Aduomi’s alignment with the NDC.
Ahead of the election, the NDC provided the following items:
-
- 3 branded pick-ups. This must be picked from the campaign regional pool and must be returned after the elections
-
- 30,000 A3 size posters
-
- 20,000 A4-size flyers for commercial vehicles
-
- cash support of GHC 500,000.00
-
- mobilise 50 boys. pick them from the regional team. Those who are under training for the national general elections. They should be boys who know the Ejisu area very well.
These items provided are not exactly what Mr Aduomi requested from the NDC to aid his campaign and boost his chances of winning.
The list of items he demanded, per the document, is as follows:
-
- 5 branded pick-ups for the campaign
-
- 50,000 A3 size posters
-
- 20,000 A4 size flyers for commercial vehicles
-
- cash support for community entry on traditional leaders (GHC 240,000.00)
-
- elections day expenditures for polling agents and police (GHC500,000.00)
-
- 100 very strong boys to protect me during the campaign and on the election day.
-
- 3 giant billboards at vantage areas (optional)
So, what kind of strategy too is this one? Awwwwwwww my NDC! Besides, must every strategy be on paper? This is NOT how we executed the 2008 campaign and won ooooooo!!!! Ayooo!!! When we say it, then they insult. pic.twitter.com/gBovVy6ak7
