The MP further stated that the disturbance was orchestrated by supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in an effort to gain media attention and damage her reputation."We've asked them [NPP party agents] to work for us since dawn. We have to ensure that we've given them breakfast, we've given them lunch, and we've given them dinner. And so we have cars going around distributing food to our agents.

“They got to the Assemblies of God polling station, and the NDC were insisting that we had stuffed the food packs with something. And so they created a scene there. And I've read online portals saying we were sending food to people in the queue. That's grossly inaccurate, and I'd be grateful if at least you take the trouble to ascertain exactly what's going on," she said.
