Elected polling station executives of the NPP in the Ejisu Constituency marched through principal streets in the area, early Wednesday, in their attempt to justify the polling process.
There have been calls for nullification of the election over claims of irregularities. But the elected executives want the aggrieved parties to show evidence of claims.
Members of the NPP marched through the streets of Ejisu, wearing NPP shirts with photographs of MP John Kumah and President Akufo-Addo.
They carried placards showing pictures of persons queuing at polling stations for the election. The pictures, they argue, diffuse agitations that the election was held at dawn.
Elected Polling Station Executive, Kwabena Boateng, says there is enough evidence to show due processes were followed in the election.
“Any decision that will attempt to nullify the election will not be one that is evidence-based because these are the evidence. They are not concoction so if the committee will seek to do anything judicial, will seek to be reasonable, will take into consideration as they are the elections will be upheld”, he said.
In the 2020 Presidential election, the New Patriotic Party garnered 68,724 votes against the NDC’s 14,488 votes in the Ejisu constituency.
The group is calling on the Municipal Chief Executive of Ejisu, Samuel Oduro Frimpong to retract comments that the election process was flawed.
The party members are worried the gains could be eroded if issues over polling station elections are not properly addressed.
“As an MCE if something is happening in the constituency that is not so good, as MCE do you go out there to sit on a public platform to spew whatever?”, he asked.
“Our problem is that as an MCE, a unifier of the party, do you have to use your platform to throw support for someone who wants to be MP? We have no problem with someone contesting the MP but the MCE should not use his office to support anyone”.
Meanwhile, the MCE, Samuel Oduro Frimpong says his comment was based on a petition received from some aggrieved members of the party.
