The Ghana Police Service has initiated an investigation into an alleged electoral offense involving temporary officers of the Electoral Commission (EC) and Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwadaso, Dr. Kingsley Nyarko, during the recent by-election in Ejisu, Ashanti Region.

In a statement released on X, the police confirmed the commencement of investigations, noting that the individuals implicated have been summoned to aid in the inquiry. Collaboration with the EC has been established to ensure a thorough investigation.
