Manaf Ibrahim, Assistant Vice President Mahamadu Bawumia, will file his nomination forms on Thursday, August 1, 2019 at the ruling New Patriotic New Party (NPP) Asawase constituency office to challenge the party's primaries for the orphan constituency. .

Ibrahim's decision runs counter to the Ashanti Regional Executive Council, warning contentious candidates for 2016 who are designated as DCE in the three orphaned constituencies in the region to stop their plans.

Supporters of the ruling party and other political observers have criticized the Council's warning without fear.

On Saturday, July 20, 2019, the young politician and his supporters were refused application forms at the office of the Asawase nuclear power plant on the grounds that the forms for the constituency had not been submitted to the leaders of the party constituency.

Ibrahim, former deputy secretary of the party in the Ashanti region, said in an interview with Ultimate FM's Isaac Bediako that the decision made by party leaders in the region was an unacceptable expression for any serious democratic party.

"I have already selected my application forms from the office of the National Party Secretary, John Boadu, so what is he talking about, I will be submitting my application form on Thursday August 1, 2019 at the party constituency office in Asawase.

"Even though I chose the forms at the national headquarters of the party, however, the regulation says that I should send them to the constituency office. If they refuse, I will send them to the national level in accordance with our constitution and our guidelines for primaries. , "he explained.

At the same time, the party's second national vice president, Fred Duah-Antoh, also revealed that any party member worried about the decision of the regional executive council to impose on two city directors and a chief of district not to oppose the primaries could petition the president. regional or national frameworks to obtain redress.
