ACEG Accuses NPP of Post-Election Manipulations, Calls for Accountability



The Arise for Change for Economic Growth (ACEG), a group affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has raised concerns over alleged electoral fraud and irregularities following the recently concluded 2024 general elections.


Addressing the media at the Accra Freedom Center on December 17, 2024, ACEG National Chairman, Economist D.S. Mahama Iddrisu, expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for voting John Dramani Mahama as president-elect and ensuring a parliamentary majority for the NDC. He also commended party members, observers, and the media for safeguarding the electoral process.


However, Mr. Iddrisu detailed incidents where the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Electoral Commission (EC) allegedly attempted to manipulate results in key constituencies, including Effutu, Damongo, and Techiman. He accused NPP candidates of bribing EC officials and swapping pink sheets to alter outcomes, though vigilant citizens and ACEG executives exposed these efforts.


ACEG further criticized the partisan conduct of some police personnel, particularly during the re-collation process in Tesano, where court orders were reportedly blocked. Mr. Iddrisu also alleged that outgoing NPP officials, including President Akufo-Addo and his Chief of Staff, were issuing allocation chits to clear goods at ports, describing the act as unacceptable.


The group condemned attempts to sabotage the incoming government, including the destruction of documents at district assemblies and misuse of state resources. ACEG called on NDC members to oversee local offices, including NADMO, DVLA, and Ghana Water branches, to prevent corruption cover-ups.


Debunking claims that President-elect Mahama will cancel the Free SHS policy, Mr. Iddrisu urged Ghanaians to embrace the 24-hour economy initiative, which he believes will create immediate employment opportunities in critical sectors like the Passport Office, DVLA, and Ports and Harbors.


ACEG concluded by urging transparency, accountability, and cooperation to ensure a smooth transition while calling for investigations into alleged post-election misconduct by outgoing NPP officials.

Royal Jamong Family Raises Alarm Over Alleged Political Interference in Bunkpurugu Chieftaincy Dispute

Image
The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...

Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Calls for Unity After Court Victory

The African Faith Tabernacle Church has emerged victorious in a protracted legal battle over its leadership. Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah, the successor of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah II and head of the church worldwide, addressed a press conference to announce the landmark ruling by the Adenta High Court. The conflict began nearly three years ago when Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah was appointed as the church’s Superior Prophet following the passing of his predecessor. His appointment, in accordance with the church’s constitution, was challenged by a faction within the church who opposed his installation. This group filed a series of legal actions, including an application to restrain him from performing his duties and a contempt motion against him and eight other chief pastors. In a decisive ruling on January 17, 2024, the Adenta High Court dismissed both the injunction and the contempt application. The case reached its climax on December 10, 2024, when the court...

Physician Assistant Accuses Tema Court of Bias, Issues Ultimatum Over Child Custody Battle

Image
Dr. Nathaniel Acolatse, a Deputy Chief Physician Assistant at Ga West Municipal Hospital, is challenging the Tema TDC Court to make public the court order his former wife, Maria Fianyo, claimed to have received. According to Maria, the judge at the Tema TDC Court instructed her to take custody of their children and warned her not to allow Dr. Acolatse any access to them. Dr. Acolatse questions the legitimacy of this order and dares the court to release the unedited Social Enquiry Report. "I challenge the Tema TDC Court to make public the supposed court order Maria Fianyo claims to have received, instructing her to take the children and barring me from seeing them," Dr. Acolatse stated. "I also demand that the court release the full, unedited Social Enquiry Report. The issue revolves around a decent apartment where my children were happily staying versus an uncompleted building where Maria was residing—a choice that the Tema TDC Court inexplicably preferred." Dr. Aco...
