Dr. Annan alleges collusion between the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Electoral Commission (EC) to manipulate the register, making it challenging for the NDC to secure victory.

Accusing the NPP of inducing voters with money, Dr. Kofi Annan vowed that the NDC would protest any attempt by non-constituency residents to vote. During a media address in Winneba, he also accused the NPP of monetizing local support, citing the District Assembly elections as an example.

“It is common knowledge that the Effutu constituency voters register is a fraudulent one which is contaminated by about some 20,000 voters who were recruited by the NPP from other places and this has made it difficult for the NDC to win the seat. The busing of voters from other constituencies by the NPP is heavily monetized and sophisticated and aided by the Electoral Commission.

“Since 2021, the NDC has uncovered thousands of such imported voters but we have not been able to convert them to votes for the NDC because of the heavy money involved and the intensity of financial inducement.”
