The National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for the Kumawu by-election was not a registered voter in the constituency, according to the Electoral Commission.
According to the EC, Mr. Kwasi Amankwaa is a registered voter in the Kumawu by-election despite being a resident of the Greater Accra Region’s Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.
The Commission questioned why the opposition did not voice similar concerns in Kumawu in response to claims made by the opposition NDC that the EC is collaborating with the NPP to secretly register a voter in Assin North.
Why was this problem not brought up by the NDC before the Kumawu Constituency By-Election? The claim made by Sammy Gyamfi that the EC is collaborating with the NPP to secretly register a voter in Assin North is FALSE still stands as a matter of truth. It is false, and we challenge Sammy Gyamfi to demonstrate it, according to the statement.
The Commission argues that over the years, Sammy Gyamfi and the NDC have spread untrue allegations intended to defame the EC’s integrity.
“Their plea to the Supreme Court after the 2020 elections, in which they claimed to have won the elections, made this clear. It is commonly known that they were unable to back their claims with proof in court.
“This latest accusation is nothing new. It is a fabrication of the National Communication Officer, wholly unjustified and without foundation. All well-meaning Ghanaians are urged to disregard it.
“Ghana’s democracy has matured, and we urge Sammy Gyamfi to speak honestly, maturely, and with decorum when he discusses the EC. We kindly request that he leave the EC alone and go out and campaign.
