Henry Quartey

Moses Abor, a contender in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primaries for Ayawaso Central, has accused the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, of orchestrating plans to manipulate the upcoming election using unauthorized security personnel.

 

In a formal complaint submitted to the Inspector General of Police, Abor, the former NPP Greater Accra Youth Organiser, asserted that Henry Quartey is intending to deploy “illegal security personnel” to influence the poll in his favour.

 

Abor claimed that the Regional Minister plans to utilize both private security personnel and individuals from the Ghana Police Service who allegedly owe allegiance to him.

 

The objective, as per Abor’s allegations, is to intimidate and harass delegates perceived as supporters of his candidacy on the voting day, scheduled for January 27.Additionally, Abor alleged that Henry Quartey and his team have devised an elaborate scheme to tamper with the election results by unlawfully stuffing ballot boxes with pre-marked ballots.
