Deputy Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ernest Owusu Bempah has described allegations made by the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi against the Electoral Commission (EC) and the NPP as a childish strategy.
According to Owusu Bempah, Sammy Gyamfi is a lawyer and thus ought to know better.
“This is a childish strategy, he is a lawyer and he is supposed to know better. That is their strategy to create a certain impression in the minds of the people of Assin North.
“The NDC has intelligent men and women, they have big lawyers in the party and they allow this statement to come out,” he said on the Big Issue with Roland Walker on TV3 Thursday, June 8.
“The NDC has nothing to offer the people of Assin, they were in power but they didn’t do anything for them.”
It will recalled that Lawyer Sammy Gyamfi in an earlier statement accused the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) of conniving with the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) to transfer the vote of Charles Opoku to aid him contest in the NPP Parliamentary primaries to select a candidate for the upcoming Assin North by-election.
“Our unimpeachable sources have revealed that contrary to the clear requirement on the nomination form for the Assin North by-election, which demands that a candidate in the election must be a registered voter in Assin North, the said Charles Opoku is not a registered voter in the Assin North Constituency.”
The EC however dismissed the claim in a statement.
