A group calling itself Concern Youth of Assin Central Constituency in the Central region have staged a demonstration against their Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong.
According to the group, the demonstration is meant to drum home their concerns over his threat to cause the disqualification of his contender, Eric Baidoo, in the upcoming parliamentary primary of the New Patriotic Party.
The maverick MP was said to have made the threat in an interview on an Assin Fosu-based Nkwa FM, saying Mr Baidoo did not contribute in any way to the development of the party.
Speaking in an interview with Adom FM on Wednesday during the protest, leader of the group, Ato Acquah said they went to petition the constituency executives but the offices were locked.
He added they will not give up until the issue is addressed to the later.
The group numbering over hundred, walked through the principal streets of Assin Fosu, wielding placards with the inscription “Assin deserve better”,
Other inscriptions read: “We are tired of your insults”; “We need Jobs”; “Say no to dictatorship”; “Fix our Roads”; “20 years is enough”; and “Assin youth are not lazy,” among others.
