Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, Member of Parliament for Juaboso in the Western North Region, has expressed concerns over recent decisions by the Electoral Commission (EC) in his constituency.
Akandoh accused the EC of appointing 26 polling officers with alleged ties to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), raising doubts about the fairness of the upcoming elections. He also criticized the transfer of the Sefwi Juaboso District Electoral Officer, calling it a politically motivated move.
Speaking to journalists in his constituency, Akandoh warned that such actions by the EC could destabilize the country if not addressed promptly.
“The sudden and unexplained transfer of the District Electoral Officer in this critical period, that is one month to the 2024 general election, is not just suspicious, it is strategic in her place.
“A hand-picked replacement by Dr. Bossman Asare, Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, has taken over and immediately began appointing known MPP delegates as polling officers.
“But let them hear us clearly, no amount of rigging, no number of planted polling offices, and no manipulation by the EC can save them from the inevitable defeat that awaits them.”
