In a video making rounds on social media, the Presidential nominee for the Juaben Municipal Assembly, Alex Sarfo Kantanka, is seen and heard demanding a refund of the bribe he allegedly paid to some Assembly members after they rejected him during a nearly chaotic confirmation process.
In the video, the rejected nominee was seen hurling insults and curses at some individuals believed to be Assembly members as he paced. In some instances, he was angrily exchanging words with one Yeboah and others believed to be assembly members while demanding the return of monies paid to them.
He was also caught on camera asking everyone “to be ready to return his money urgently”.
Earlier in the day, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, was seen appealing to members of the Juaben Municipal Assembly to forget the past and vote for the President’s nominee.
The nominee, Alex Sarfo Kantanka, failed to secure the two-thirds majority after he garnered six out of the 26 votes cast in the first attempt.
The nominee was reappointed by the President, but some Assembly members boycotted the first exercise to confirm him on Friday, citing intimidation over the deployment of armed security officers.
