In another request from the Traditional Areas, they noted that, the Electoral Commission’s combined effort in organizing the 2020 general elections effectively resulted in disenfranchising the people of the area.
The chiefs, elders and the people of the Akpafu and Lolobi Traditional Areas have expressed worry and disappointment in the Electoral Commission for preventing them to vote for their Parliamentary Candidate under the Hohoe Constituency, a Constituency they described as “Mother Constituency”. They said, this has been the first time ever since 1992 the Commission has disenfranchised them in an election to select a Candidate to represent them.
