The Member of Parliament for Juaboso in the Western North Region, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has raised concerns over recent actions by the Electoral Commission (EC) in his constituency.

Akandoh accused the EC of appointing 26 polling officers allegedly linked to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), suggesting this could undermine the credibility of the upcoming elections.

He also criticised the transfer of the Sefwi Juaboso District Electoral Officer, describing it as politically motivated.

Speaking to journalists in his constituency, he warned that such moves by the EC could destabilise the nation if not promptly addressed.

“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.”
