Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor has accused Electoral Commission (EC) presiding officers in Okaikwei Central of attempting to manipulate election results to favor incumbent MP Hon. Patrick Boamah.

According to Dr. Otokunor, the officers allegedly tried to alter figures on the pick sheets, sparking public outrage and calls for a thorough investigation into the claims.

These allegations raise critical concerns about transparency and accountability in Ghana’s electoral process. Dr. Otokunor emphasized the threat such actions pose to democratic integrity, urging the EC to uphold its mandate of free and fair elections.

The Electoral Commission has yet to respond, but the incident highlights the importance of safeguarding trust in the electoral system as investigations proceed.
