The Electoral Commission (EC) has debunked claims that an official has been arrested in Somanya in the Eastern Region regarding election fraud.
The EC official is alleged to have been arrested for reducing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential candidate John Dramani Mahama's votes in the Region by 3,000.
The Commission, in a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com, states categorically that the news is false and urges the general public to disregard the fake news.
Read full statement below:
NO EC OFFICIAL HAS BEEN ARRESTED
The attention of the Electoral Commission has been drawn to social media reports alleging that an EC Official has been arrested in Somanya within the Eastern Region in Ghana.
The fake news further goes ahead to claim that the said EC Official was arrested for reducing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate’s votes by 3,000.
We wish to state that this is FALSE. The public is therefore urged to disregard this fake news.
