Hopeson Adorye has revealed to the public how the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) resorted to underhanded tactics to manipulate the 2016 elections in their favour.
During an interview with Accra FM, the former prominent party member disclosed that the NPP blasted dynamites in the Volta Region to intimidate voters before the election.
According to him, this tactic led to a decrease in voter turnout on election day. Adorye noted that by 2 pm on the day of the election, the voter participation in the Volta Region was significantly low.
He concluded that the NPP would emerge victorious in the election due to their disruption of the National Democratic Congress stronghold.
“Prior to the elections, we blasted dynamite In parts of the Volta Region and that scared a number of people.
When I finished casting my ballot in Tema, I drove to the Volta Region and when I asked for the number of people who had voted and the expected number of voters, it turned out people did not come out to vote.
Hopeson Adorye’s recent statements have been causing frustration within his former party ever since he decided to part ways with them.
He was in the news recently when he admitted during an interview on the same platform that he intends to publicly seek forgiveness from John Dramani Mahama for spreading falsehoods about him while he was affiliated with the ruling party.
Adorye, who left the NPP to join Alan Kyeremanteg’s Movement for Change, praised Mahama as an exemplary figure with a superior track record compared to Nana Akufo-Addo.
He also expressed concerns about corruption and land grabbing under the current administration, emphasizing the need for prosecution to deter such actions in the future.
