DCE Threaten Party Base Over ‘Nkoko Nkitinkiti’ Support
April 3,2026
A political storm is brewing in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese Constituency following claims that the District Chief Executive, Daniel Mensah Wardy, issued strong warnings to selected branch chairmen over support for incumbent Constituency Chairman, Vincent Ekow Koomson.
According to credible information gathered, the DCE met with some branch chairmen in a closed-door engagement where he cautioned them about openly aligning with Chairman Koomson. Sources indicate that the warning was tied directly to the government’s flagship Nkoko Nkitinkiti programme.
Insiders say the message was unmistakable: beneficiaries associated with individuals who support the incumbent chairman could risk being excluded from the programme.
The development has triggered anxiety among grassroots members, many of whom depend on the initiative for their livelihoods. What should be a flagship intervention for economic empowerment is now at the center of a growing political controversy.
The situation is already fueling discontent within sections of the party, with concerns mounting over internal division and the use of influence to shape political loyalty.
“This is not how party politics should be done,” a branch executive disclosed on condition of anonymity. “The chairman has worked hard and earned the trust of the grassroots. Trying to intimidate people because of that support will only create more tension and disunity.”
Observers within the constituency say the move is being interpreted by many as an attempt to weaken the incumbent chairman’s strong grassroots backing ahead of internal political processes.
With tensions rising, party faithful are calling for calm and urging leadership to address the situation swiftly to prevent further cracks within the constituency.
As it stands, the controversy surrounding the Nkoko Nkitinkiti programme continues to deepen, placing the Abura Asebu Kwamankese Constituency firmly in the spotlight.
