The Kwadaso Member of Parliament (MP), Dr. Kingsley Nyarko, has refuted claims that he tried to sway the results of the Ejisu by-election.

Dr. Nyarko was accused of attempting to sway the results of the by-election in Ejisu after a widely shared video showed him setting a white envelope on the table in front of two EC representatives.

Nonetheless, Dr. Nyarko claimed in a Tuesday interview with Joy News in Accra that the funds were donated out of kindness rather than with the intention of influencing anyone.

Because of the political context, he understood that people might misinterpret what he was doing, but he still thought the NPP candidate would win.

Additionally, he stated that the process was not compromised in any way and that he would be willing to respond to the Inspector General of Police’s (IGP) call if he was called in for questioning.

“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.
