The Electoral Commission (EC) has denied allegations raised by the campaign team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong, which claimed irregularities in the transportation of ballot papers for the party's upcoming presidential primary.

Responding to the claims on Top Story, Fred Tetteh, Deputy Director of Research at the EC, dismissed the assertions as baseless.

"There is no iota of truth in what has been being circulated. That's what I can say for now," Tetteh stated on Friday.

The dismissal follows a press release from the Agyapong campaign, which called for heightened vigilance from the EC and the Ghana Police Service.

The statement alleged that due to a shortage of official vehicles, the EC was using approved private vehicles to convey ballots but cited “isolated incidents” in three regions where papers were allegedly moved without proper branding or escort.

When pressed on the Commission's readiness for Saturday's crucial internal election, Mr Tetteh expressed full confidence.

"Everything is set for tomorrow. Everything is ready, all the officials are ready, and as I have been saying, the Commission will deliver a professional job tomorrow,” he assured.

He further reiterated the EC's commitment to a credible process.

"We will go into the elections, treat everything fairly, and undertake our responsibilities in light of integrity and in a transparent manner.”
