NPP candidate imposes agents on polling officers

Mr Darko Mensah, NPP parliamentary candidate for Ga North was reported to have attempted to impose his own agents on polling officers in his constituency.

A source at the Alogboshie 1 and 2 Primary School polling station told the Ghana News Agency that the MP came to the centre and insisted that his own trained polling agents should assist in the exercise but Mrs Victoria Betty Conutsey, the presiding officer, objected.

Chief Inspector Joe Oppong of the Mile Seven Police Station confirmed the allegation.

He said Mr Mensah was invited to the police station upon a complaint from one of the voters and was advised to leave the center, which he did.

In another development, the chief of Alogboshie, Nana Kuma Atiso, caused a gong-gong to be beaten in the area to advise the youth to desist from any act of provocation.

This became necessary after a fight between two boys at the Alogboshie 1 and 2 Primary School polling centre
