Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwadaso Dr Kingsley Nyarko, has denied allegations of attempting to influence the Ejisu by-election.

A viral video showed Dr Nyarko placing a white envelope on the table in front of two Electoral Commission (EC) officials during the by-election in Ejisu, leading to claims of him trying to influence the process.

However, in an interview withthe media,in Accra on Tuesday,  April 30, 2024, Dr Nyarko stated that the money was not intended to influence anyone but was given out of goodwill.

He acknowledged that people might misconstrue his actions due to the political nature of the situation, but he remained confident that the NPP candidate would win the election.

He also expressed his readiness to respond to the Inspector General of Police’s (IGP) call if he was summoned for questioning, asserting that the process was not compromised in any way.

“I know that I have not influenced anybody. I have not influenced the process. I don’t feel bad because I know I have done nothing wrong. I know it is politics people are going to spin. You know we’ve been in this political game all this while and those who are spinning I don’t begrudge them, that is politics that is it.

“But me Kingsley Nyarko I am putting on record that I have not done anything whether overtly or covertly to influence the process.”

“…I have done nothing to influence the process so if the IGP is being petitioned to invite me I am ready for him. I think when it gets there I know what I am going to talk about but no process has been undermined, nothing untoward has been done,” he stated.
