According to Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Koku Anyidoho, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia deceived the Electoral Commission (EC) when he said the party had some evidence to show that some 76,000 Togolese had their names on the country’s electoral register. Rekindling the sentiment that led the NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, to call for the NPP running mate’s arrest, Anyidoho stated that Dr. Bawumia’s claim shows that NPP still sees the Volta region as not part of Ghana. Addressing a press conference in the Volta region Monday, Anyidoho called on Voltarians to reject the NPP in the upcoming December polls for looking down and treating them with disdain. “Ladies and gentlemen, this whole nonsensical approach by Bawumia to create a false impression that thousands of Togolese vote in the Volta region is deeply rooted in the UP tradition agenda against Voltarians and Volta region.”
