Tempane electorates fell for propaganda - Defeated Kpemka cries Member of Parliament for the Tempane constituency who failed to retain his seat in the just-ended parliamentary elections has said his constituents chose propaganda over development. According to Joseph Kpemka who also doubles as the Deputy Attorney General, his people were victims of well-calculated political gimmicks initiated by his opponents to court distaste for him. He told Citi News that, though he was confident about winning the polls, some issues about chieftaincy, which arose few days to the polls are partly to blame for his loss. “You have a situation where people do not talk about the development you have initiated. They don’t criticise that… somebody goes to talk about chieftaincy matters and says a certain chief in this area is being projected over other chiefs and it because that other chief is related to me or related to NPP.
