Africa-Press – Ghana. National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B) has dismissed the vote-buying allegation made against the NPP in the Ejisu by-election.
He says no member of the party is influencing voters to cast their ballots in particular ways.
“I have been here, I have not seen anybody influencing anyone, so those accusations are baseless,” he told journalists in Ejisu.
The Electoral Commission (EC) had said its attention has been drawn to a video circulating on social media depicting an alleged bribery at one of the Polling Stations at the ongoing Ejisu Constituency By-Elections.
