Candidate for the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Yaro Bameezina Philip has said he is likely not to vote for himself during the upcoming Talensi by-election on Tuesday.

According to him, his party has neglected him by refusing to support his campaign financially.

He alleged that the party’s founder, Akua Donkor had pocketed some GH¢30,000 meant for the campaign.

Speaking on Citi FM, Mr Bameezina lamented, “everybody is campaigning but what Akua Donkor is doing is not the best. In the north here, you can’t do politics without pushing money.”

“They have given you the money, something like 300 million old cedis [GH¢30,000] and you don’t want to give me a pesewa. Should I use my own money for the campaign? You were on your knees begging me to stand for you and now you don’t want to push money,” he alleged.

Expressing his frustration, Mr Bameezina said “Don’t be surprised I will not even vote for myself on that day because what she started yesterday I’m not happy with her and I want the whole world to know that this woman is not a correct woman. All the posters I did it myself. Going to Accra back and forth, I paid my own bills. And the youth are saying that they have given me the money, and I don’t want to spend it.”

Meanwhile, all the political parties including the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) rounded up their rallies yesterday in Talensi.
