Former Central Regional NDC Chairman, Dr. Richard Asiedu, is calling for an investigation into the party’s November 14 regional executive elections held at Dunkwa on-Offin.
He has alleged that irregularities in the voters’ register affected the outcome of the chairmanship contest.
He claimed names were manually added to the register to allow some individuals to vote, resulting in what he described as over-voting.
He told journalists that, "the difference of vote between myself and my competitor was eight. But upon the team going through the register, realize that the regional secretary influenced the system through the addition of names written with pen.
"So I lost by eight votes. But then, if you look at the register, you could see pens written all over with names of nine people in it, of which I don't know how those nine people's names fall into the register. So it is clearly overvoting."
He questioned the electoral process, claiming that the irregularities in the register may have happened at the constituency level.
