The main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has asked former President Jerry John Rawlings to intervene and help stop the potential of non-Ghanaians, specifically Togolese, participating in Ghana’s December 7 polls.

According to Mr Amewu, some Togolese have illegally found their way into Ghana’s electoral roll to enable them to vote for a particular party.

“The NPP, as law-abiding citizens, do not intend to stop genuine Ghanaians who reside in Togo coming to Ghana to exercise their democratic right to vote. Instead, we are trying to build collaboration between the leaders of the border towns and educate them in understanding the criminal implications and trivialities of the actions of those who are not entitled to vote trying to do so,” he said.

On his part, Mr Rawlings said that he would make their complaints known to the relevant institutions for the necessary action.

He, however, urged all parties contesting in the forthcoming 7 December polls to ensure that should their party come out victorious, members of the losing parties would have no reason to feel insecure.

“Most parties are working towards winning the election and I wish all of you the best. Irrespective of whoever emerges as the winner, I hope that the losing parties and their support base will have no reason to feel insecure,” he added.
