The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Kwadaso, Kingsley Nyarko, has come under scrutiny after a video surfaced allegedly showing him offering an envelope to Electoral Commission (EC) officials involved in the Ejisu by-election.
The video, which has gone viral, purportedly shows Nyarko handing over an envelope to two EC officials.
Following this, the EC has suspended and withdrawn the two officials from their duties in the ongoing by-election.
As of now, the NPP leadership is yet to officially comment on the matter.
The incident comes amidst a competitive by-election where NPP’s Kwabena Boateng is facing off against five other candidates, including Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, who is running independently after leaving the NPP.
