The MP was seen distributing food packs to voters participating in the Special Voting exercise at the Legon Police Station, one of the designated polling stations in the constituency.
Alhassan, with the help of her team, provided food to voters waiting in line, prompting criticism from her political opponent, John Dumelo, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the constituency.
NDC parliamentary candidate, Dumelo expressed strong disapproval of the distribution, claiming it undermines the integrity and fairness of the electoral process.
Why are you sharing food to people in the queue? Why are you doing that? Does it mean we cannot share food too? We can also share the same, but let’s respect the rules of the Electoral Commission. Don’t share anything with people in the queue who have not voted yet and you’re sharing food and we don’t even know what’s in the thing, and you’re sharing to people who have not voted yet. Why? Do they think we can’t do it? We can do the same and even worse. They shouldn’t even try ushe warned.
When asked about the development, Madam Alhassan said,
they’re always trying to attack me. They always do this, but here I am. By the grace of God, I have a temperament that is able to contain all of this.
