RAS MUBARAK HAS FINALLY DROP HIS OPPONENT SPONSOR

Embittered Member of Parliament (MP) for Kumbungu
Constituency in the Northern Region, Ras Mubarak has
finally named the rich sponsor of his opponent who
orchestrated his defeat at last Saturday parliamentary
primaries.
He revealed that a businessman identified as Hamza
Abdulaziz a.k.a Hamza Tanko was the moneybag man
who paid the way through for his opponent to ensure that
he [Ras Mubarak] was humiliated in that manner.
According to the lawmaker, an estimated GH¢500,000
was doled out to National Democratic Congress (NDC)
delegates in the area which smacks of vote buying
insisting he has incontrovertible evidence to back his
claims.
“If we do not pay urgent attention to the issues of vote
buying that is creeping into our politics, soon we will have
drug dealers and terrorists choosing our MPs and even
the president with their money”, a situation he said ‘would
undermine the integrity of our democracy”. He warned.
Ras Mubarak also revealed that the matter has been
reported to the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI)
with suspicion money laundering is involved in all this.

“As a country, we have to rethink the way we want our
politics to go forward. We have seen levels of vote-buying
and particularly in the Kumbungu election.”
“Interestingly I have even reported and complained to the
BNI to look into the possibility of money laundering.
Officially, I have reported to the BNI to look at how
people could just share money like crazy so to speak just
three days ago.”
The MP lost to a Lecturer with the University for
Development Studies (UDS), Dr Hamza Adam who polled
401 as against the incumbent’s 273 and 81 votes for the
third candidate Baba Abdulai.
Ras Mubarak who was optimistic of carrying the day has
been left disappointed together with his supporters after
results declared signaled his obituary.
