The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Dumelo, has lodged a formal complaint with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) against the incumbent Member of Parliament, Lydia Seyram Alhassan.
This follows allegations that Ms Alhassan was seen distributing food to voters in a queue during the special voting exercise held on Monday.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, 3rd December, Mr Dumelo stated that his complaint includes video evidence capturing various actions by Ms Alhassan, which he claims contravene Ghana’s criminal and electoral laws.
He emphasised the importance of upholding electoral integrity and preventing any form of voter manipulation.
Dumelo also revealed that his team had provided the OSP with additional material information regarding alleged plans by Ms Alhassan to unlawfully influence voters on a larger scale.
“My team also gave material information on plots by MS. LYDIA SEYRAM ALHASSAN to unlawfully influence voters on a larger scale come Saturday, December 7, 2024, when the main election will be held.”
