Greater Accra Regional Minister Linda Ocloo has denied allegations that she pressured party members to disclose their votes during the confirmation of Felix Odartey Lamptey as the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Chief Executive (MCE).

In an interview on Citi Eyewitness News on Monday May 12, Ocloo described the claims as “completely false,” asserting that no one was asked to show their votes during the confirmation process.

According to Ocloo, the first round of voting resulted in Lamptey’s rejection, but he was renominated and confirmed in a second round.

She emphasised that the media was present during both rounds, and at no point were members instructed to disclose their votes.

“…It is not true. It is completely false… the first round they rejected and then renominated the person. Nobody showed their votes. The media was there. Not even a single person showed their vote,” Ocloo stated.

Addressing the allegations, Ocloo expressed confidence in Lamptey’s capabilities, stating, “We’re confident that the nominee is not going to disgrace or disappoint His Excellency the President.”
