The Nkwanta North Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) claim their District Chief Executive (DCE), Paul Levin Gyato, is more a member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) than of the ruling party. The Nkwanta North NDC say the acts of vandalism which hit the District were as a result of the re-nomination of Hon. Paul Levin Gyato; whom they accuse of not contributing to the fortunes of the party in the run-up to last year�s general elections. Constituency Secretary for the area, Joseph Wombe, maintains there is evidence to show the DCE campaigned against the NDC in the 2012 elections and that the ruling party lost to the NPP in the community where he (DCE and his family) resides. Speaking on OkayFM, he claimed that �throughout, the DCE�s tenure has been littered with divisions instead of unity in the party;�he even campaigned against the NDC in the 2012 general election�. ��at the moment, NDC executives in the Nkwanta North Constituency are on the run because the DCE has called for the arrest of all those who voted against him,� he added. A fuming Joseph Wombe insisted that �he (DCE) is not a member of the NDC because since his name was smuggled into the list leading to his re-nomination, his household is now always flooded with NPP activists.� He indicted the DCE for instigating the arrest of NDC members who went on a vandalizing spree destroying state properties in the Nkwanta North District, following his (DCE�s) re-nomination. Joseph Wombe, who claimed he was in hiding because of the DCE�s high-handedness, alleged that he (DCE) has decided to chase NDC executives out of the constituency; reiterating that such a person cannot be called an NDC member. �I cannot disclose my hideout because I am almost on exile; we are being hunted for a crime we did not commit. The DCE is frustrating the NDC members in Nkwanta North District in order to make NPP grow stronger in the district�he is seeking the downfall of the party,� he lamented.
