Assigning Brigadier General Opoku to Ashanti is a plot for Electoral Fraud – Enoch Nsiah

Former Ashanti Region Security Coordinator, Enoch Nsiah, has expressed his support for Sammy Gyamfi’s allegations that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is using Brigadier General Michael Opoku’s appointment in the Ashanti Region as part of a wider strategy to manipulate the upcoming elections.

Speaking on Oyerepa TV’s Election Field, Nsiah did not mince his words. He stressed that Opoku’s history of inciting violence makes his move to the region highly suspicious, especially considering that Ashanti is a key stronghold for the NPP.

“The NPP is not as popular as it used to be,” Nsiah said, “and they are aware of their declining support. That’s why they’ve brought in people like Brigadier General Michael Opoku, whose involvement in violence in past elections is well known.

His relocation to Ashanti is not coincidental—it’s part of a plan to facilitate electoral fraud and tilt the results in favour of the NPP.”

Nsiah’s accusations are not the first of their kind, as political tension leading up to the election has been marked by allegations of manipulation.

According to Nsiah, the ruling party is willing to go to great lengths to secure another term in power, including allowing underage voters to participate and orchestrating the movement of voters with multiple identification cards between polling stations.

“The NPP is preparing to allow underage voters to cast ballots,” Nsiah continued. “These individuals will move from one polling station to another, casting votes multiple times. And this isn’t just a threat in Ashanti.

“We’ve seen this behaviour in other regions where the NPP has manipulated election results in the past.”

Nsiah’s comments echoed concerns raised by members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who are increasingly vocal about discrepancies in voter statistics reported by the Electoral Commission (EC).

He pointed out that the EC claims over 18.7 million Ghanaians are eligible to vote, despite the national population being approximately 34 million.

“Look at the numbers,” Nsiah said, emphasizing his skepticism about the EC’s data. “The official statistics from the Ghana Statistical Service don’t match up with the figures the Electoral Commission is pushing.

“They’re inflating the number of voters and misrepresenting the reality of our population. This is a serious issue because it undermines the legitimacy of the entire election process.”
