Newly promoted Ghana premier League side Elmina Sharks have debunked reports suggesting they have stripped of the captaincy from Isaac Mensah because he campaigned for the New Patriotic Party.
Reports emerged on Wednesday that, the Elmina based side had taken that decision after Mensah was spotted wearing a polo shirt of the flagbearer of the main opposition leader Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo of the New Patriotic Party.
''It is true but not because of wearing any political party attire but for indiscipline. He has not reported for pre-season and not given any tangible reason since we began for the past three weeks,'' the club spokesperson Richmond J Arthur told Joy FM.
''This is not the first time, He has been doing it and the coaches have been complaining. And the club has decided to take the captain away from him.
''We are a new team and don’t want to enter premiership with such behavior.''
Elmina Sharks is owned by Papa Kwesi Nduom, flagbearer for the Progressive Peoples' Party in next month's presidential elections.
