The campaign team of Alan Kyerematen has asked the leadership of the New Patriotic Party and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to make sure that the rules governing the conduct of the super delegates conference are respected by all.
Mr Kyerematen’s team accused some some delegates of showing their votes after casting their ballot in North East.
Spokesperson of the team, Yaw Buaben Asamoa alleged that when agents of Mr Kyerematen raised concerns against the action, they were assaulted, resulting in some being hospitalised.
“They have been asked to show the votes because they are voting for the vice president…
“This is why I am telling the whole world including His Excellency the president to put his foot down.
The delegates are voting to reduce the number of aspirants from ten to five.
All the ten aspirants are Kennedy Agyapong, Alan Kyerematen, Joe Gartey, Kwadwo Poku, Dr Afriyie Akoto, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, Francis Addai Nimoh, Dr Kofi Kunadu Apraku, Boakye Agyarko and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Ahead of the super delegates congress, the NPP leadership warned all delegates that publicly displaying cast ballots constitutes a criminal offense.
The party served notice that those who violate this provision shall be subjected to legal repercussions in accordance with the law.
“Delegates are hereby informed that any cast ballots publicly displayed will be rejected,” a statement issued by the Presidential Election Committee on Thursday, August 24 said.
It added “We wish to further emphasize that there will be no congress on the day of voting, and voting will be strictly walk-in.
“Considering this, it is anticipated that there will be no provision for a public address or occasion for any National Party Executive, government representative, or regional executive to publicly address delegates on the day of the voting.
“We wish to reassure all relevant parties, including stakeholders, delegates, aspirants, and the public that with these guidelines in place, no individual can decipher the voting preferences and patterns of specific voters after the voting process concludes. This measure guarantees the integrity and confidentiality of the voting exercise.”
