\n
The Greater Accra Regional Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Anthony Nukpenu, has expressed serious concerns regarding the safety of electoral officers in the upcoming rerun of the outstanding polling station election in Dome Kwabenya.<\/p>\n
His comments follow the Electoral Commission\u2019s (EC) decision to rerun elections at the Abokobi Women\u2019s Development Centre in the Dome Kwabenya constituency\u2014 a directive the NDC has firmly rejected.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, we have not taken any decision, but if they should go ahead, I can\u2019t guarantee their safety.\u00a0 of the electoral officers that will be deployed to conduct that single polling station because the community has indicated clearly to your reporter that should they dare, they have voted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey voted on the 7th; they voted overwhelmingly for Elikplim Akurugu. That result stands. Should any official dare come with a ballot box, ballot papers to determine another verdict, they are not going to participate. However, they can\u2019t guarantee the safety of those who will come and conduct that exercise,\u201d Nukpenu stated during an interview on Channel One Newsroom on Sunday, December 29, 2024.<\/p>\n
He further underlined the community\u2019s determination to uphold their stance and issued a strong caution against the use of security forces to impose the rerun.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody should think they are going to use the police or the military to intimidate the people of Abokobi. They will rise to the occasion, and what people want to see, they will see it,\u201d Nukpenu added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
