Justin Frimpong Koduah beats John Boadu to win General Secretary
NPP elects new national executives
The Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has called out a Deputy Commissioner of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, for his misrepresentation in words, the total votes received by John Boadu.
In the official results released after the National Delegates Conference, the immediate past General Secretary polled 2,524 votes, losing to Justin Frimpong Kodua, who polled a total of 2,837 votes.
In writing out the total votes for John Boadu in words, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe wrote, “Two thousand and twenty-four,” instead of the actual “Two thousand, five hundred and twenty-four.”
In a tweet, the South Dayi MP also accused the EC of meting out similar misrepresenting of figures to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during elections in the past.
“John Boadu's votes in words are not the same as those in figures. What is horrifying is that this was written & signed by Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, who is a Dep Commissioner of the EC. NDC suffered this many times in their hands during elections. This man insulted us just last week,” he wrote.
