In a momentous ruling, the Kumasi Magistrate Court in the Ashanti Region has nullified over 1,000 fraudulent voters transfers to the the Kumasi Magistrate Court in the Ashanti Region
The court, presided over by Her Worship Deborah Gyaawa Donkor, delivered the verdict on Tuesday September 24, 2024, ordering the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) to revert the affected voters to their original constituencies.
The transfers, allegedly arranged by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), were challenged by Lawyer Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for Manhyia South.
Mr. Awuah, who recently won the NPP Parliamentary primaries in the constituency, uncovered the suspicious transfer and took immediate action by rallying polling stations executives and local residents to object.
The objections were submitted through the completion of the Objection Forms in accordance with the Regulation 23 of CI 91, which highlighted that the transferred were non-residents of the constituency.
The court’s ruling deals a major blow to the NDC’s alleged efforts to increase their electoral chances in Manhyia South ahead of the 2024 elections.
