Africa-Press – Ghana. Former NDC constituency organizer for Ejisu, Ransford Kwaku Mensah, has called on all NDC members in the Ejisu constituency to vote for independent candidate Kwabena Owusu Aduomi.
He says that among all the aspirants, Mr Aduomi is the one who has demonstrated that he has the well-being of the constituency at heart.
“You know that the NDC didn’t take part in the contest but among all the aspirants Aduomum is far better than all of them, that is why I support Aduonum. I am calling on all the voters especially the NDC people to vote for Aduomi because he has the constituency at heart,” he said.
Over 100,000 voters are voting today (April 30, 2024) to decide on who will replace the late Dr John Kumah as representative of the people of Ejisu Constituency in Parliament.
Six candidates are contesting for the seat.
They are; a former Member of Parliament for the area, now contesting as independent candidate, Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, New Patriotic Party’s Kwabena Boateng, Convention People’s Party’s Esther Osei, Liberal Party of Ghana’s Beatrice Boakye, Freduah Agyemang Joseph and Attakorah Joseph both independent candidates.
Meanwhile the Electoral Commission (EC) has urged electorates to trust them as they will ensure the voting is done in a free, fair, and transparent manner.
Reacting to allegations by the camp of one of the independent candidates that some ballot boxes have been stuffed in an attempt to rig the election, the Commission asked the public to ignore that claim.
“The time the allegation was made, we had not even started printing the ballot. How then can someone stuff the ballot boxes. And how is that even going to be done? Because our ballot box is transparent, and we open it before we start voting.
Mr Bannor-Bio however implored candidates to choose agents who are vigilant.
“The candidate should also trust the system and provide agents who are very effective, know the processes and can defend their rights. It’s not just bringing anyone who is loud, but can’t differentiate between 69 and 96”, he advised the contesting candidates.
