A member of the opposition New Patriotic Party’s Communications team Emmanuel Asigri, has alleged that the Electoral Commission of Ghana with the aid of the National Security is secretly recruiting and training people ahead of the 2012 elections. Although he would not state exactly what the people are being trained for or to do, he only indicated that the trainees are not security operatives yet they are under training at the Military’s Bondase camp in the Eastern Region. He made these allegations when he appeared on Adom TV’s morning show, Badwam on Friday. His comments come at the back of a declaration by President Mills that the government will not allow any group of persons in their quest for political power to disturb the 2012 polls. But Mr. Asigri has challenged the President to first “remove the speck from his eyes and come again”. According to him, the NPP has picked intelligence that the undercover training has been disguised as a program for a task force for the various District Assemblies. However, he said the NPP is confident of victory the 2012 elections irrespective of any tactics by government to intimidate the party.
