Parliamentary candidate hopeful COP George Alex Mensah (Rtd), running for the New Patriotic Party in the Bekwai constituency, has vehemently denied any wrongdoing that might negatively impact his chances of winning the polls.

He was implicated in a leaked audio scandal that allegedly revealed a plot to remove the Inspector General of Police to manipulate the 2024 elections in favor of the governing party.

COP George Alex Mensah (Rtd) is one of four candidates competing for the seat, along with Ralph Poku-Adusei, Henry Opoku-Ware, and Kingsley Opoku Agyemang, all vying to replace the current Bekwai MP, Joe Osei-Owusu.

In an interview on Eyewitness News, COP Mensah (Rtd) emphasized that he has not been involved in any fraudulent activities that would disqualify him from becoming a Member of Parliament.

Asked if he could clear things in his cupboard before going to the polls on January 27, he retorted, “I don’t have anything in my cupboard.”

COP George Alex Mensah (Rtd) asserted that his involvement in an alleged attempt to oust the Inspector General of Police (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare, would not tarnish his credibility or hinder his chances of winning the parliamentary seat.

“No, it will not,” he said.

The parliamentary aspirant stated that he was the most competent person among his contenders to win the primaries.

“I’m more competent among other aspirants; none of them has the experience and qualifications I have. I’m going to win,” he underscored.

The committee assigned to investigate the leaked tape has not yet released its report.
