He emphasized the fairness of past elections, citing instances where the NPP did not rig despite defeats.

“In 2008, when he defeated the incumbent MP, who was even a Cabinet Minister, did the NPP rig the elections for him? So why does he now allege that we will rig the elections just because he has been defeated by someone else? Is this fair?” he asked.

President Akufo-Addo also denounced external influences on independent candidates, asserting that only the NPP candidate, Kwabena Boateng, could bring development to the constituency.

Highlighting the importance of securing a parliamentary majority, he urged voters to support the NPP candidate to ensure effective governance.
