The failed Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) nominee for Juaben in the Ashanti region, Alex Sarfo Kantanka has taken a swipe at the assembly members who voted to reject his nomination by a whopping 20 out of 26 ballots for deceiving him.
The nominee who is the current chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Juaben Constituency in an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM rubbished claims by some of assembly members that he was rejected due to divisions in the party and his abrasive relationship with some of the constituents.
But Mr. Kantanka rather attributed his defeat to what he said was a wicked agenda harbored against him by some “strongmen” in the party, saying he has good relationship with everybody in the party.
He also disclosed that all the necessary consultations were made before the voting so the results came as a shock to him.
“I met all of them at Anita Hotel with one catholic priest, a pastor and two powerful chiefs; in fact, they assured me that they will give me a massive endorsement; some of them even said they wanted to acclaim me right there. But after eating and drinking with me, and taking my envelopes, they still voted against me”.
““After eating my food and took envelopes still they voted against me. So, I think we should really sit down to find out how it happened” he added.
