The New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Kwadaso, Kingsley Nyarko, has been accused of bribing Electoral Commission officials who were participating in the Ejisu by-election.

In a video gone viral, Kingsley Nyarko was sighted providing what looked like an envelope he took from his pocket to two EC officials.

The Electoral Commission has suspended and withdrawn the two temporary officials from the ongoing by-election.

“The Electoral Commission has taken immediate steps and has withdrawn the two (2) temporary staff while investigations take place.

“The commission upholds the principles and values of integrity, truth and transparency. These values are reinforced during the training of all temporary staff.

“The commission will not countenance acts which cast a slur on the integrity of the institutions and will not hesitate to sanction its officials who violate its laws,” the Commission stated.

Currently, the leadership of the NPP is yet to officially comment on the matter.

NPP's Kwabena Boateng is competing against five other candidates, including Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, who parted ways with the governing party to run independently in the ongoing by-election.
