In a recent statement, Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) in Tema Central to address concerns regarding alleged attempts at electoral rigging. Dafeamekpor expressed his concerns during a media briefing held at the Parliament House, warning that any manipulation of the electoral process would not be tolerated. He stated, “The people of this constituency are vigilant and will not allow any form of tampering with their votes.” Furthermore, Dafeamekpor demanded transparency from the electoral body as the nation prepares for the upcoming elections, reiterating the importance of fair play in the democratic process. The MP’s comments come amidst growing suspicions and allegations regarding the integrity of the electoral process in the lead-up to the elections. His warning emphasizes the need for the EC to remain impartial and the importance of confidence in the electoral system.
Additionally, in related political developments, several high-profile members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), including KT Hammond, Ursula Dakoa Newman, and Twum Barimah, have been noted to be stepping back from their roles in parliament as elections approach. The political landscape is transforming rapidly with an influx of new candidates set to take up their positions. This shake-up within the NPP is prompting discussions about the future direction of the party as it plans for the impending elections. The absence of these experienced figures raises questions about the party’s strategy moving forward.
In a third report, significant names within the NPP have emerged stating that they will not be returning to parliament, creating both uncertainty and opportunities for new political players looking to make their mark. This shift in the political dynamics of the NPP is expected to influence how the party navigates the challenges ahead in the electoral timeline. In light of these events, Dafeamekpor’s remarks resonate more than ever, underscoring the need for electoral integrity and public trust in the democratic process.
