Asawase Legislator, Muntaka Mubarak has suggested that Tema West legislator, Carlos Ahenkorah’s behaviour in Parliament by snatching a ballot box proves that he’s been engaging in electoral illegalities in his constituency which always makes him victorious.
Mr Ahenkorah after suspecting that Alban Bagbin was likely to win the Speakership position for the 8th Parliament, snatched the ballot box and attempted to bolt with it however, was apprehended immediately by fellow MPs on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) side.
Mr Mubarak, who also snatched a ballot box during the chaotic election process in Parliament, said even though the melee caused some of them “to go the extreme”, he thought Mr Ahenkorah’s action was condemnable.
“Let me condemn what my colleague Carlos did, I think that was the most absurd thing. It clearly shows, maybe, how he wins his elections: he steals them. Because if in the glaring eyes of the whole world, he could do what he tried to do, I felt very ashamed as a Member of Parliament that a colleague Member of Parliament could do such a thing”, he said.
