The Political Parties Outside Parliament (PPOP), a group of political parties with no representation in the Legislative House, has called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to arrest the leader and founder of Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Rev. Christian Kwabena Andrew.

The parties say Rev. Christian Kwabena Andrew, popularly called 'Osofo Kyiri Abosom', has raised false accusations against the Electoral Commission.

Addressing a press conference in Accra, they said; "Recently, the Leader of the Ghana Union Movement has also accused the Electoral Commission of recruiting Electoral Officers with the ruling NPP."

"How can one make such a baseless and unfounded accusations?", the parties questioned.

They appealed to the IGP, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, to "invite the Leader of GUM to investigate some of these allegations as all Political Parties were given the names of the Electoral Officers and also granted the opportunity for us to provide feedback on each of them we felt had some known political affiliations".

"One cannot then turn around to just drag the name of such a reputable institution that is the back bone of our democracy into disrepute without any substantive proof," they added.
