The Communication Officer of the United Cadres Front in Tema, Chris Asher Jnr., has voiced concerns over the Member of Parliament for Tema West, James Enu, reportedly failing to adequately engage with constituency executives. This development follows comments from the elected Chairman of the Tema West NDC Constituency, Mohammed Issah, about the MP's strained relationship with the executives.
Chris Asher Jnr. described the situation as worrying, warning that it could weaken party unity, coordination, and mobilisation efforts ahead of future elections. He noted that the enthusiasm and commitment previously driving party members to work towards winning the Tema West parliamentary seat seemed to be waning due to the lack of engagement.
According to Chris Asher Jnr., the absence of regular engagements and a coordinated strategy among party executives and members could undermine efforts to strengthen the party's position in the constituency. The United Cadres Front is particularly concerned as the party prepares for future internal elections and other political activities.
Chris Asher Jnr. cautioned that the MP's approach to party administration and engagement could affect his political fortunes if the concerns are not addressed. He stressed that constituency executives play a crucial role in mobilising party members, building grassroots support, and promoting the MP's political agenda within the constituency.
Political developments in Tema West suggest the possibility of a keenly contested NDC parliamentary primary, particularly if concerns about internal party relations persist. Chris Asher Jnr. alleged that the current MP appears to be giving greater attention to a small group of individuals, described by some party members as a "cabal", rather than engaging elected constituency executives.
Despite these concerns, Chris Asher Jnr. reaffirmed the United Cadres Front's commitment to protecting the NDC parliamentary seat in Tema West. He stressed that the group remains dedicated to strengthening party unity and grassroots mobilisation, and will continue to support efforts to consolidate the party's structures.
The United Cadres Front will work with party members and stakeholders to promote solidarity and improve the NDC's prospects in the constituency. The group is committed to working towards completing the regional and national executive processes, ensuring a strong party foundation for future elections.
