We Didn’t Bus Ewes, We Only Insisted On Their Right To Register – Asiedu Nketiah Defends Busing Claims

General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has refuted claims that they bused Ewes to registration centres in the just ended voters registration exercise.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) accused the NDC of busing foreigners from one constituency to another to register for the voters card.

In defence Mr Nketiah said, “We were not busing ewes to register, we were insisting on the rights of the Ewes to register because they are residents in the constituency.”

He explained, “busing in the electoral enclaves means that going to hire buses and convey people who are not residents from another district to invade another district, and to get their names on the register for the purpose of influencing the choice of parliamentary candidate.”

Asked whether there was a bus behind him in the video that has gone viral, Mr Asiedu-Nketia said there was no bus behind him.

“There was a Kia Truck behind me. There was another truck behind me, all fully loaded with people who are moving from a landing site from the Volta Lake to the registration centers.”
