Hopeson Adorye Claims Alan Kyerematen’s Campaign Lost most of it’s Agents
The United Party’s Director of Field Operations, Hopeson Adore, alleges that Alan Kyerematen’s independent presidential campaign was compromised after most of the party’s polling agents were denied accreditation during the 2024 elections.
Mr Adorye said many representatives were turned away from polling stations despite following official procedures, contributing to what he described as widespread irregularities on election day.
His claim explanes why Alan Kyerematen’s new party ultimately secured only about 1.7 percent of votes in the December 7, 2024 presidential election, which was won convincingly by John Dramani Mahama.
Ghana’s electoral regulations require all candidates to submit accreditation requests for polling agents through proper channels, including signatures from authorized party or campaign representatives.
The United Party official suggested these experiences have shaped their strategy going forward. He emphasized that the party is building stronger grassroots structures specifically to ensure proper poll monitoring in future elections, learning from what he characterized as the 2024 failures.
However, the polling agent rejection claims remain unverified by independent sources. The Electoral Commission has not publicly addressed allegations of systematic denial of accreditation to Movement for Change agents, and no formal complaints appear to have been filed challenging the electoral process on these grounds.
