Suraj Mohammed a branch executive of the NDC in the Suame Constituency who couldn't hide his frustrations said he may be disenfranchised.
“We realized that some of the names have been expunged. We called our regional chairman last Sunday and he met the Regional Elections Committee. The briefing suggested that the committee was relying on a new list and we believe the register had been compromised.
When we pointed this out to the committee they told us they were waiting for an “order from above”, he explained.
The party office was visibly in a mess as items such as stationery and other equipment were destroyed during the raid.
“We are expected to vote on Saturday (October 22). And so if you tell me you are awaiting a call from above then it means I will be disenfranchised. If the party wants peace they should take steps to resolve this issue or else they will face our wrath”, one of the members warned.
The elections come off this weekend at the various constituencies of the party.
