Suspected polling agents of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ejisu constituency have picketed at the party's office, demanding full payment for their work during the just-ended 2024 elections.

The aggrieved agents accused party executives of failing to honor the agreed payment amount, sparking frustration and anger among those who monitored the polls on behalf of the party.

One of the polling agents, expressing her displeasure, said the leadership had shortchanged them. “We will not let this slide just because of the love of the party, as we used to do in the past when we received 20gh when we were supposed to be paid 50gh,” she lamented.

According to her, the agreed payment was GHC 500, but the executives allegedly delivered only GHC 200, leaving the remaining GHC 300 unaccounted for.

“They were supposed to give us 500gh, and they have brought an envelope with just 200gh and have taken the 300gh. That is why we are at the office,” she explained.
