Supporters of Kennedy Agyapong in the Central Region’s Awutu Senya East district have vowed to boycott Saturday’s polls if the voter album, which they think has been tampered with, is not restored.
In an interview with Citi News on Friday, Bernard Danquah, Convener for Kennedy Agyepong supporters, said “We realised that national had made one or two mistakes. So we prompted National that this album cannot be used… But they printed the old album that we have raised issues about, and they had accepted that we were right… And so we are saying that this album cannot be used.”
“…We are pleading with National to ensure this is rectified before tomorrow. We don’t want any bad thing to happen, so we are pleading with them to do what is needful, what is right so that we can have free and fair elections. But if we can’t have it that way, then I am afraid of what will happen tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service (GPS) has told the public that it would be adequately prepared to preserve peace and order during the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer contest on Saturday, November 4.
Over 200,000 delegates from throughout the country are anticipated to vote in the election to choose an NPP candidate for the 2024 general elections.
The Police Service stated that appropriate security will be given during and after the polls in a statement signed by its director, ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi.
The GPS also reaffirmed its commitment to working with election partners to “guarantee peace, security, law and order during the election.”
