The campaign team of the losing NDC parliamentary aspirant for Agona East, Kwesi Ahwoi, has blamed its candidate�s defeat on the National Security Adviser, Brigadier General (rtd) Nunoo-Mensah.
According to the campaign manager of the team, Paapa Zubaru, Brigadier General Nunoo-Mensah�s open support for the winning candidate is tantamount to sowing divisions within the NDC.
He alleged the security chief also sent security persons on the Election Day to monitor the pattern of voting by delegates in an apparent attempt to intimidate them. �If somebody like Nunoo-Mensah who is a National Security Advisor would descend low and go down to support one candidate without showing neutrality, what are you bringing into the party; division or what?
�On the Election Day he sent the security people holding some digital material standing at the back of the voters� box and they were pointing it. We saw all,� Zubaru alleged.
Meanwhile, the parliamentary candidate-elect, Queenstar Pokua Sawyerr has denied the allegations. According to her, she only received advice from the national security capo.
She said: �He only showed interest in somebody he had a lot of confidence in, note this is over and I just hope everybody would help us put it behind us. �
