EC Vote Transfer Exercise: 32 Names Mysteriously Transferred From Tamale South And Sagnarigu To Pusiga – Metro TV’s Annie Ampofo Alleges

In a developing situation concerning Ghana’s electoral processes, Annie Ampofo, a broadcast journalist with Metro TV, has reported irregularities in the voter transfer exercise conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC). According to her, a total of 32 registered voters have allegedly been transferred from the Tamale South constituency and Sagnarigu to Pusiga constituency without their consent or knowledge.

The claims, if confirmed, point to a serious breach of electoral integrity. Ampofo noted that the transfers occurred during the EC’s voter transfer exercise, a crucial step meant to ensure that eligible voters who have relocated or changed their place of residence can update their constituency information. However, in this instance, the affected individuals reportedly had no role in initiating the transfers.

Ampofo further revealed that one person has been arrested in connection with the alleged electoral malfeasance. While details remain scarce, the identity of the arrested individual—whether they are an employee of the Electoral Commission, a political operative, or another involved party—has not yet been disclosed.

These allegations raise significant concerns regarding the transparency and credibility of the voter transfer process. The integrity of such exercises is critical, especially in constituencies like Tamale South, which have historically been highly competitive in Ghana’s political landscape. Unauthorized voter transfers could undermine public confidence in the electoral system and potentially skew election outcomes in affected areas.

This incident calls for a thorough investigation by both the Electoral Commission and relevant law enforcement agencies. Ensuring that voter registration and transfer procedures are conducted fairly and transparently is essential for maintaining trust in Ghana’s democratic processes.

The public and various stakeholders will be keenly watching for further developments as the authorities work to clarify the situation and ensure accountability.
