In a shocking turn of events during the recent Assembly elections at Bepoakyi in the Dompim Electoral Area, the Concerned Youths of Dompim in the Tarkwa Nsuaem have expressed their disappointment.
The group, in a press release on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, alleged that Electoral Commission officers at the Bepoakyi polling station were caught on videos and pictures directing voters within the ballot box to favor specific candidates.
The statement issued by the group emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, “This electoral malpractice at the polling station has raised serious questions about the integrity of the democratic process and hence the need to conduct serious investigations into the matter and nullify the fraudulent electoral process at the Bepoakyi Polling Station.”
Videos and images circulated on social media depict Electoral Commission officers guiding voters to cast their ballots in favor of a particular candidate, causing outrage among the electorate. The group asserted that the “gross misconduct at the said polling station cannot be overlooked,” and actions must be taken to ensure the cancellation of results from such a fraudulent process.
“The misconduct by the officials has fueled this protest from the concerned people of the Dompim Electoral Area, reflecting our frustration and demand for transparency,” it added. The statement concluded with a strong call to action: “The Electoral Commission must be committed to delivering unbiased and fair results because the integrity of the electoral process is paramount to the functioning of a democratic society. Any allegations of malpractice require thorough investigation and resolution; hence, we count on the Electoral Commission to do the needful as soon as possible.”
