Old Tafo MP Vincent Ekow Assafuah has criticized the Ashanti Regional Minister for failing to provide adequate security during the recent Council of State elections in the region.
Speaking on Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana, Assafuah, who serves as the acting secretary of the Ashanti Regional NPP caucus, accused the minister of allowing acts of intimidation and aggression to mar the electoral process. "The Ashanti Regional Minister is the chairman of security in the region.
The elections took place right in his backyard, yet he could not ensure a safe and transparent process free of intimidation," Assafuah stated.
According to him, the Ashanti Regional NPP caucus held a press conference to condemn what they described as acts of "taggery and machismo" during the election.
