Mankessim (C/R), Dec 18, GNA – Mr Felix Nyarko-Antwi, First Vice Chairman of the Mfantseman West constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged their polling stations agents to be vigilant during the presidential run-off elections. Mr Nyarko-Antwi said the loyalty of some of the agents during the December seven elections “were in doubt as there was suspicion of connivance with some opponents of the party to allow things to go the wrong way”.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency at Mankessim on
Wednesday, My Nyarko-Antwi pointed out that since elections were
either won or lost at polling stations, it was necessary that party
agents become more vigilant and monitor the process well. He denied the rumour circulating in the area that Mr Stephen
Asamoah Boateng, Member of Parliament for the area had ordered
the removal of electricity poles he had supplied to some
communities for their electrification projects. According to Mr Nyarko-Antwi, the MP had ordered that
projects he had initiated from his personal resources should continue
even though he lost the parliamentary elections. Mr Asamoah Boateng lost to Mr Aquinas Tawiah Quansah of the NDC but had filed a writ for a recount. Mr Nyarko-Antwi said it was not true that Mr Asamoah Boateng,
who is also the Minister of Information and National Orientation
collapsed and was rushed to Cape Coast Regional Hospital
immediately the results were announced. Mr Makita Quainoo, an NPP activist appealed to supporters of
the party to report any activities of the NDC or any electoral staff
which they found incompatible with the electoral laws to party
officials for immediate redress.
