The Director of Communication for the Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of disseminating false information about some ballot papers that were discovered in the Ashanti Region.
Few minutes to closing of polls on Dec. 7, the NDC held a press conference where it claimed that it’s Ashanti Region National Organiser, Joseph Yamin had discovered some 50000 ballot papers in an isolated room in the Region and believed it belonged to the NPP.
Reacting to the matter, Dennis Miracles Aboagye said the claim by the NDC is “a complete lie.”
At a press briefing hours after the NDC’s presser, Miracles Aboagye noted that per their checks, “those ballot papers are not even at the location they claim.”
“As usual the NDC is doing what it knows best, behaving irresponsibly as it can as a party.
“It is extremely baffling to have the NDC behave the way they are doing. They continue to peddle some falsehood. As at 4:30 pm thereabout, they held a press conference and said the NDC Organiser in the Ashanti Region has discovered 50,000 ballot papers which they claim are ballot papers they have discovered, being hidden by the NPP.
“That’s a complete lie. All we saw in that video was Joseph Yamin holding his phone and having a camera placed on him with no resistance, no owner of the House and no accustomed person but he was standing and having a conversation and cheerfully telling somebody I had discovered ballot papers,” he said.
The party says the evidence shown by Joseph Yamin is suspicious that the NDC may have orchestrated this.
The NPP called on the Police to investigate the claim by Joseph Yamin to the latter.
