Frances Essiam Is A “Mere Member” Of The NPP…She Is Just A “Nuisance” – Constituency Chair

It appears the feud between the New Patriotic Party Chairman at Adenta constituency, Richard Obiri Yeboah and the constituency's 2012 Parliamentary candidate, Frances Assiam may linger on for a while since they are not ready to surrender.

While the latter, Frances Asiam is calling on the National executives of the party to interdict the constituency Chairman, he is also, on the flip side, bent on having her sanctioned by the party's disciplinary committee.

She wants the party's constituency Chairman, Richard Obiri Yeboah ousted from his office because according to her, he has over the years exhibited sheer disloyalty to the NPP.

“He should start parking his bag and baggage and he will face the full rigours of the NPP disciplinary action…He will regret ever going against me because I have not offended him,” she said.

However, the constituency Chairman, Richard Obiri Yeboah has also asked the disciplinary committee of the party to investigate the misdemeanor of the party's 2012 Adenta Parliamentary candidate.

Speaking in an interview on Okay Fm, Mr. Obiri Yeboah noted that the constituency executives have served Madam Frances Asiam with her suspension letter as part of plans to sanction her over actions deemed inappropriate by the rank and file of the NPP.

He revealed that Madam Frances Asiam once stirred riot within the constituency during a general meeting by the executives on the election petition case which was filed by the 2012 Presidential candidate, Nana Akufo Addo, his Running mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the party Chair, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, at the Supreme Court.

In the course of the meeting, the NPP Parliamentary aspirant is said to have “organized thugs and mobilized them in a party car to disrupt the meeting and also threatened to beat the organizer. So, the organizer reported (the incident cum threat) to the Police Station."

"But the party has got its laws, so, the organizer petitioned the constituency executives and the executives sat down and referred her conduct to the disciplinary committee,” he said.

To him, Madam Frances Asiam, who he described as a “mere member”, has become a "nuisance" to the constituency and the entire party.
