Thus, officials of the Electoral Commission and Innolink found culpable, must be prosecuted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NDC also charged IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare to prosecute persons found culpable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The petition detailed that the alleged ballot papers were discovered by NDC agents when they, alongside others, had returned to Innolink Printing press to supervise the reprinting of ballots for the Afigya Kwabre South Constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI write on behalf of the National Democratic Congress to petition your office to institute criminal investigations into and prosecute persons culpable in the illegal printing of over one million excess presidential ballots meant for the Ashanti Region at Innolink Printing press, one of the seven security printing firms contracted by the Electoral Commission to print election materials for the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections,\u201d a portion of the petition said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Party, \u201cwhen our agents confronted, the supervisors at Innolink, they gave all manner of incoherent answers. One claimed that it was a \u2018back up\u2019 while another lady in charge of the bindery claimed they were meant for \u2018run-off. Seemingly confused, officials of Innolink could not provide any further tenable answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen EC officials were asked about the above development, they denied any knowledge of same\u2026our agents insisted that the ballots should be destroyed forthwith. They ensured that all the ballots which were estimated at over one million were shredded and scheduled for destruction,\u201d the party claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NDC further attached videos of the papers being discovered at Innolink, photographs of the papers, video reports among others to the petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2022 NDC has petitioned IGP over excess ballot papers \u2022 The party stated persons culpable should be prosecuted \u2022 The petition was signed by Johnson Asiedu Nketia The opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC, has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), to probe the alleged illegal printing of excess presidential ballot papers in the 2020 general [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
