Hopeson Adoryeh of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taunted the Ashanti Regional Scribe of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joseph Yammin, saying he has been overlooked by the party hierarchy.
The outspoken NPP member indicated that Yammin was not considered for even a �Borla� minister to wit �minister for garbage� by President John Dramani Mahama after his apparent hard work in the Ashanti region during the 2012 elections.
Speaking in an interview with Ali Baba of Kessben FM, Hopeson said sarcastically that �Yammin, despite his huge noise and open show of power during the last elections, has eventually been overlooked in the president�s appointment.�
The NDC, for the first time in its history, managed to garner over 600,000 votes in the Ashanti region in the 2012 elections, which is the stronghold of the NPP.
Political observers, especially those who are affiliated to the NDC, have been praising Joseph Yammin for working assiduously during the 2012 electioneering campaign.
But Adoryeh insisted that despite Yammin�s seeming hard work for the NDC during the polls, President Mahama and the NDC had ignored him.
The NPP man, who seemed happy about Yammin�s unfortunate situation, hinted that the NPP would win its court case against the Electoral Commission (EC), asking NPP supporters to remain calm.
Adoryeh, who is perceived to have a thick skin, clashed severally with some known NDC functionaries in the Garden City on radio in the run-up to the last general elections.
In one of the clashes on radio programmes, Adoryeh and Donkor Fuseini, one of the several young politicians being mentored by Joseph Yammin for the NDC, allegedly traded punches and hurled insults at each other after a disagreement during a political talk show on Kessben FM.
The incident, which occurred late 2012, was eventually reported to the Kumasi Police, who after thorough investigation, sent the matter to the law court.
