According to James Kofi Annan, the NPP engages in large scale busing of voters in heavily monetized and sophisticated network scheme aided by the Electoral Commission during the 2020 main registration exercise, to corrupt the voters register.

James Kofi Annan was the NDC’s Parliamentary candidate for the Effutu constituency for the 2020 general elections. He has been re-elected the Parliamentary candidate for the NDC in the constituency for the 2024 general elections.

Addressing the media, James Kofi Annan said, since the year 2021, the NDC’s fact-finding missions have uncovered thousands of such imported voters, with hard core evidence. According to him, the strategy of the NPP is that, they recruit 200 heavily paid and incentivized coordinators of voter importation from outside of the constituency, task each person to recruit a minimum of 100 voters who are given a lot of monies to come and vote in Effutu during the elections. This alone, according to him, sums up to 20,000 voters. These voters are those the NPP keep busing into the constituency to voter for them during both the main and district assembly elections to claim victory.

Mr. Kofi Annan further stated that the NPP could not have corrupted the electoral process without the support of the Electoral Commission. According to him, in the run-up to the 2020 elections, the offices of the Effutu constituency Electoral Commission were raided, and electoral materials and equipment taken away by the raiders. He said the NDC suspects this act was carried out by the NPP to further temper with the electoral register, and that is why no arrests have been made by the Ghana Police Service, and no official report has been issued by the Electoral Commission.
