Kwame Obeng Asare, widely known as A Plus, Independent Parliamentary candidate for Gomoa Central, has expressed confidence in the efforts of the Electoral Commission (EC). According to him, the EC is working tirelessly to ensure that Ghana holds free, fair, and credible elections, which will ultimately foster peace in the country.
Speaking on UTV’s United Showbiz, A Plus acknowledged that no institution is without flaws, but he believes the EC’s new measures should be embraced as part of the nation’s democratic progress. “We should not be paranoid; we should believe in the EC that everything will be free and fair. I don’t believe that the whole electoral commission will set out to rig the elections,” he stated.
He further elaborated on his experiences as an independent candidate, describing the process as transparent. “The process has been fair. Anything they give the political parties, if we write to them, they give us. We have been walked through the process as independent candidates, from the printing of ballot papers to the transportation of the papers to the various constituencies,” he explained.
A Plus is optimistic that this election will be peaceful, crediting the vigilance of political parties who have actively raised concerns to ensure a fair process. He also praised the police, led by Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, for their preparedness to uphold law and order during the elections. “Dr Dampare will arrest anyone who goes in contravention with the law. He will not spare anyone, so if you think you can use your incumbency to intimidate people, please think twice. Even me, who is very close to him, he will not hesitate to get me arrested, so you should be very careful on election day so that you don’t get yourself arrested.”
