The Electoral Commission (EC) says it has referred the alleged bribery case in the Ejisu by-election to the police to start criminal investigations into the matter.
A viral video shows a gentleman dropping an envelope on a table manned by two EC officials, the presiding officer and ballot issuer.
Earlier, the (EC) withdrew two temporary staff at the Fumesua Pentecost Church polling station following bribery allegation.
In another statement on Tuesday (30 April), the EC said it has identified the two electoral officers stationed at the Fumesua Pentecost Church Polling Station with Polling Station Code F311503, as “Temporary Election Officials of the Electoral Commission recruited to conduct the Ejisu by-election. They are Regina Serwaa, ballot issuer and George Sasu, presiding officer.”
“Our investigations further revealed that the man in the video, walked to their table and enquired whether they had eaten. He then placed the envelope on the table and asked them to use the contents of the envelope for their lunch, following which he walked away,” the statement added.
