The Biakoye Constituency 2nd Vice  Chairman Hopeful of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yakubu Mohammed,  has  asked  members of the party  to vote massively in the upcoming Constituency  Executive  elections,  but to vote for competent leaders. According to him, some of the aspirants ‘have no good intentions’ for the party in the Constituency and hence ‘are not up to the task’ and therefore, must not be given the chance ‘to destroy the party’ with their divide-and-rule leadership styles which has the potency of dividing the party and ultimately causing it to lose the next general election.  He alleged that some of the aspirants are already engaged in vote buying in their bid to win the elections which he said it's a bad practice and detrimental to the democracy of the party and the country at large.  The Constituency Executive  Elections  is slated for February 21, 2018.  The outspoken '' grassroots president",   Yakubu Mohammed who is competing with other big
