The Member of Parliament for the Juaboso Constituency, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has accused the government of using state agencies to manipulate the upcoming Saturday polls.
He alleged that the recent transfer of the District Police Commander by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) is a deliberate ploy by the government to influence the 2024 election outcome.
According to Akandoh, the Juaboso District requires more than eight days for the new commander to familiarize himself with the area and effectively manage security during the polls.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, December 2, 2024, Akandoh, who also serves as the Ranking Member on the Health Committee of Parliament, expressed concerns that the new commander lacks sufficient time and familiarity with the district to lead the security team in an election as critical as this one. "My disappointment stems from the fact that they are using the state agencies that are supposed to be impartial as part of their rigging machinery.
