Effutu NDC petitions Omanhene over election concerns
The Effutu Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has petitioned the Omanhene of Efutu, Nenyi Ghartey VII, seeking his intervention on critical issues related to the upcoming elections.
The NDC stated that their actions aim to safeguard the integrity of the elections and ensure a peaceful atmosphere in the area.
In the petition addressed to the chief of Winneba, the NDC accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of providing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) with nomination forms filed by the NDC’s Parliamentary Candidate, James Kofi Annan.
The party described this as a serious breach of trust.
Additionally, the NDC raised concerns about the transfer of 3,005 votes to the Constituency by the EC, which the party considers illegal.
They also expressed frustration over the destruction of several billboards featuring their Parliamentary Candidate and the party's flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama.
Constituency Secretary, Abraham Henry Arthur, in an interview with Class 91.3 FM's Nana Tawiah, emphasized that the party is demanding an explanation from the Electoral Commission regarding how their candidate’s nomination forms were leaked.
The NDC is also awaiting a response to an earlier petition concerning the unlawful transfer of voters to the constituency.
Furthermore, the party has called on the Municipal Chief Executive of Winneba, Kassim Zubeiru, to stop the destruction of NDC billboards or face consequences, as the party plans to devise strategies to protect its properties.
The petition further highlights the NDC's growing concerns over the fairness of the electoral process in the Efutu constituency ahead of the elections.
