The (NPP) Parliamentary Caucus in the Ashanti Region has condemned the disruption of the vote-counting process during the Council of State elections in the Ashanti Region on Tuesday, February 12, 2025.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, and signed by the leader of the caucus, Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, the Member of Parliament of Mampong, the group alleged that known members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), led by Ofori Boadu, also known as Zuba, forcibly snatched a ballot box while votes were being counted.
The incident, they claimed, was an attempt to disrupt the process, as their preferred candidate was losing. "In an outrageous act of lawlessness, known NDC thugs stormed the counting center and forcefully snatched the ballot box in a desperate attempt to disrupt the process. "At the time of this shocking attack, Nana Nkansah Boadu had secured 49 out of 86 votes, putting him in a commanding lead.
Realizing that their preferred candidate was losing, Zuba and his thugs violently intervened, halting the democratic process and plunging the election into chaos," their statement stated.
