HO CENTRAL

Togbe Afedzi – Chief of Asogli Traditional Area alleged that the NPP has imported “Macho men” from Nigeria into the Region and demanded their jaws. He then motivated the people to cause havoc – to attack any foreigner they come across.

Togbe Afedzi’s fetish priest cursed our Polling Agent – Boabeng Michael at L/A JSS Kleefe Dome (D072103) of death by close of polls.

At the close of polls the paramount chief and his elders came to whisk away the ballot box to the collation centre with assistance from the Presiding Officer. In most Polling Stations in Ho Central Constituency, our Polling Agents were smeared with an itchy substance locally know as “Apia”, making them to be rushed to Dr. Latsa for medical treatment. For instance, Derrick Owusu Fosu at the Tanyigbe-Anyigbe (D071707), Kwame Asomani at the L/A Primary, Avee Gbogame Polling Station (D071805). Asomani was not allowed to stay till the close of polls to sign the Result slip and put the party seal on the Ballot Box and Boakye-Yiadom at the 1st Choice Clinic Polling Station (D070106) were victims of such scandalous acts of the NDC activists.

Our Polling Agent, Kingsford Obeng at L/A JSS Kleefe-Dome Polling Station (D072103) was threatened by the Presiding Officer and the local.

At the Ho-Hohoe Anglican Primary School (D070903), our Agent caught the polling Assistant tearing double ballot papers for voters.

At the Ho District Education Office Polling Station (D071902) the Presiding Officer personally directed voters where to cast their vote.

At the L/A Primary School (D071706), Tanyigbe-Dzafe, Seyiram Gavor was arrested for double voting. He was handed over to the police.
