Tamale North Member of Parliament, Alhassan Suhuyini has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of attempting to suppress votes as part of a grand but misguided scheme to rig the 2024 December 7 elections.
Suhuyini claims that the EC suppressed the votes of 300 people in the Tamale North alone and about 800 people in the whole Sagnarigu Municipality.
His concerns were expressed through a post on his social media page, where he urged political parties to stay vigilant and not allow the EC’s alleged move to go unchallenged.
Mr. Suhuyini is critical of the EC’s failure to conduct last year’s Limited Voter Registration exercise across all polling centers, opting instead for registration only at its district offices.
He argued that this decision prevented many potential registrants from participating, ultimately disenfranchising them for the upcoming December 2024 general elections.
The lawmaker’s accusation comes as the EC prepares for a limited voter registration exercise that starts on Tuesday, May 7, 2024,
and ends on Monday, May 27, 2024.
According to him, this revelation of vigilance underscores the importance of ensuring that all eligible voters have the opportunity to register and cast their votes without hindrance or suppression.
