Former PNC General Secretary, Atik Mohammed has criticized the National Communications Officer of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi for accusing the Electoral Commission (EC) of conspiring with the ruling government.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the government and the EC are plotting to include Charles Opoku’s name in the voters’ register despite him not being a registered voter in the Assin North constituency.

“We are closely monitoring this situation and shall take every legitimate step to ensure that this illegal plot is not carried out by the Electoral Commission and their collaborators in the NPP,” Sammy Gyamfi stressed.

But the EC has described the allegations as unfounded and baseless saying "Ghana’s democracy has come of age and we call on Sammy Gyamfi to exercise maturity, decorum and truth in his discussions on the EC. We urge him to go out and campaign and leave the EC alone".

It also stated; "Over the years Sammy Gyamfi and his party have put out false claims aimed at maligning the integrity of the EC. This was evident in their petition to the Supreme Court after the 2020 Elections alleging that they had won the Elections.

"It is well known that they could not provide evidence in Court to support their allegations. This current allegation is no different. It is baseless and unfounded and a figment of the imagination of the National Communication Officer."

Speaking to this on Peace FM morning show 'Kokrokoo', Atik Mohammed said: "It was in terrible taste for Sammy Gyamfi to allege that the Electoral Commission is working with another political party but it's the habit of politicians...and that is unacceptable".
