Abdul Rauf Tubazu, the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the Ayawaso Central constituency, has said some persons believed to be operatives of National Security are interfering in the ongoing voter registration exercise, especially at the Alajo 1&2 registration centres.

He told Accra 100.5FM’s parliamentary correspondent Richard Appiah Sarpong in an interview on Wednesday, 8 July 2020 that these officers are directing persons at the registration centres.

He described this development as “unfortunate” because, in his view, the EC officials are the ones tasked with the responsibility of carrying out the exercise.

“When we approached them and asked why they are getting involved in the activities at the registration centre, they told us they were national security operatives and have been sent here to supervise the exercise", Mr Tabuza said.

“We went round this morning, we went to Pig Farm ARS and there were no troubles there. It was at Alajo 1&2 that we noticed the involvement of these national security operatives,” he said.

Abdul Rauf Tubazu added: “We all want free and fair elections. That is not how we want to run this election. We must go into this election without intimation, but if you have national security interfering to the work of the EC, we are not going to accept that.”
