Hopeson Adorye has made startling claims regarding the dubious tactics employed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to retain the Ejisu seat during the bye-elections.

Speaking on Captain Smart's Onua morning show on May 8, 2024, the former National Security boss asserted that the NPP recruited party executives from Kumawu to oversee the elections at various polling stations.

He alleged that these individuals were trained by the Electoral Commission (EC) to serve as presiding officers.

Mr. Adorye, who recently left the NPP to join Alan Kyeremanten's Movement for Change (M4C), stated that he received this information around 5pm on the day of the elections, which took place on April 13, 2024.

To support his claims, he mentioned specific names and referred to page numbers in the Kumawu constituency album where the names of these alleged NPP-affiliated EC officials were recorded.

Reading from a personal compilation titled "Polling station executives of Kumawu enlisted as EC officials for Ejisu," he named three NPP constituency executives of Kumawu who had been enlisted as presiding officers.

The first two on the list were:"Number 1: Asafo Agyei Ernest...He was Presiding officer for Asotwe MA primary school, polling station number F310501A

All my collation shows this .This guy is a polling station youth organiser and also a Personal Assistant to the MP of Kumawu

Number 2: Addai Abankwa Kwame, presiding member at Kwamo Chief's Palace. He is the presiding officer for the polling station with the number F311206A.He is also polling station secretary for the NPP at Kumawu, i.e., LA JHS Oyorko."

Hopeson added that "If you open page 6 of the NPP album, you will find his name there. You will find his name in the album.This is the  strategy they adopted.

The third person mentioned was "William Agyei, presiding officer for Boakra Methodist primary polling station code, f310103.Polling station youth organiser at Kumawu , you will also find him on page 6 or 5 of the album.

Agyekum Emmanuel also contested for polling station youth organiser at Akotosu Temporal Boat with polling station number F360902".

However, he warned that, this time the NPP had their way but come 2024 general elections they wouldn't.

"They got away  this time with their strategy so next time we would be alert. Anyone who adorns in party cloths will be taken out .That is against the law" he mentioned.
