Dr. Richard Asiedu, the former Central Regional NDC Chairman, is urging for an investigation into the party’s recent November 14 regional executive elections held at Dunkwa on-Offin. According to Asiedu, issues with the voters' register may have influenced the outcome of the chairmanship election.
Asiedu alleged that names were manually added to the register, allowing certain individuals to cast their votes. This led him to claim that there was over-voting. He informed journalists that the margin between himself and his competitor was eight votes. However, upon a closer examination of the register, Asiedu discovered that names had been written with a pen, resulting in nine individuals being listed who he could not verify.
Asiedu questioned the electoral process, suggesting that the irregularities in the register could have occurred at the constituency level. Consequently, he is refusing to accept the election result and has threatened legal action.
