The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress has refuted claims by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that he led 60 Ivorians to take part in the just-ended voters’ registration exercise.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, in an interview on Joy FM’s Top Story Monday said the NDC rather intercepted an Ivorian registered truck at Banda Kabrono in the Bono Region and prevented the passengers aboard from registering.
He then accused the governing NPP officials in the region for facilitating and organising those foreign nationals in participating in the voters identification registration exercise.
“The NPP regional Chairman [for Bono Region] and the Parliamentary Candidate for the area ordered these people to come back to Kabrono and insisted that they registered.
“They were 66 in all and all these people where challenged by the NDC party agents and inspite of that the NPP got all their voters ID for them to return to Ivory Coast.�
He then quizzed, “Do you think I will organise a group of foreigners and after that ask my party agents to challenge them?�
Earlier today, the NPP General Secretary John Boadu alleged that NDC’s Johnson Asiedu Nketia orchestrated the registration of over 60 Ivorians at Banda Kabrono in the Bono Region.
He insisted that polling centers where foreigners were captured unto the electoral roll during the just-ended voters’ registration exercise were facilitated by officials of the NDC.
