In an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, Dr Dzani said such accusations always make the rounds when other competitors do not win elections of any sort.
“Even if a government wins the election, they say opposition rigged the election, so I am not bothered by these claims.”

The Head of Communication at the Electoral Commission Eric Dzakpasu also said he did not see anything untoward happening during the elections.
“I didn’t see people taking pictures of their ballots. One person was going into the booth with his phone but his attention was drawn to that. The press, delegates and election officials were all there, nothing untoward happened at the election,” Dzapasu said.
Two delegates earlier accused Dr Dzani of bribing delegates in Greater Accra who voted in the Council of State elections.
Dr Dzani won to represent the Greater Accra region with 20 votes, against his closest contender, Nene Kanor Attiapah who had 12 votes.
