Election 2024 : Ursula Owusu-Ekuful denies allegations of voter inducement in Ablekuma West

The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has dismissed allegations that her team distributed food to voters in an attempt to sway their votes.

In response to media reports on the matter, Mrs Owusu-Ekuful clarified that the food in question was meant for her party’s agents, not for voters.

“The food we provide is for our agents working at the polling stations, not for voters in the queue. So how can anyone suggest we are attempting to induce votes? This has never been the case. It's a normal routine,” she said.

Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has strongly rejected the allegations as "reckless" and "unfounded," accusing the online outlet behind the report of attempting to tarnish her reputation.

She condemned the publication for neglecting basic journalistic standards, such as fact-checking and accuracy, and stressed that such reports only undermine the integrity of the media.

The MP reaffirmed her commitment to serving the people of Ablekuma West with honesty and integrity, emphasizing that her focus has always been on promoting a fair and peaceful electoral process.

Mrs Owusu-Ekuful also expressed disappointment over what she described as a deliberate attempt to sow division and undermine the trust she has diligently built with her constituents.

"My team is committed to ensuring a smooth electoral process, and any logistical support we’ve provided has been welcomed by all those involved," she said.

"I urge the public to dismiss these baseless claims. I remain fully devoted to serving the people of Ablekuma West with the same humility, dedication, and commitment that I have always demonstrated," she added.
