Veteran actor Abeiku Sagoe, believes strongly that he lost the recent Ghana Actors Guild (GAG) Presidential election because the poll was rigged.<\/p>\n
He claims the process was manipulated to ensure his defeat by the current President Sam Fiscian.<\/p>\n
He told Joy News\u2019 MzGee in an interview that, \u201cI can say boldly that the result of the presidential election was not a true reflection of the people\u2019s opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explains that about 50 registered, card holding members of the guild on the day of the election strangely could not find their names in\u00a0the register and consequently could not vote.<\/p>\n
The majority of these people, he insisted, were his supporters. He mentioned Collins Sarpong; a member of the elections committee as being behind this act.<\/p>\n
\u201cCollins Sarpong, who the previous evening had written a petition against [my] candidature, was the one in charge of the register,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
When asked if he would like to pursue the matter to seek justice, he responded in the negative, saying it was not necessary.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it is necessary. It is only for one year. Next year we go for a congress, I don\u2019t think anyone will have the opportunity to rig the elections again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Ghana Actors Guild (GAG), on April 29, 2017, at the Centre for National Culture in Accra gathered to elect new leaders to occupy some vacant positions in the guild\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
This was necessary because the President of the guild, Reverend Eddie Coffie died last year.<\/p>\n
