Lydia Seyram Alhassan, the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, has refuted allegations of distributing food to voters during the special voting exercise at the Legon Police Station polling centre.
The allegations emerged after videos and reports claimed the MP handed out bags of food and water to individuals in the voting queue. John Dumelo, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the constituency, criticized the alleged act as a violation of Electoral Commission (EC) regulations, asserting that it undermines the fairness of the electoral process.
In a media interview, Lydia Alhassan dismissed the accusations, stating, “I wasn’t here. I don’t know if you saw me here. I’ve been here since… I came here before 6 am, and I left here a few minutes ago. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” She indicated that she was still gathering details about the incident.
In response to the reports, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has initiated an investigation into the alleged food-sharing activities. The probe aims to determine whether any electoral laws were breached during the incident.
