Leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo, has firmly rejected accusations that he swapped his position with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the Electoral Commission’s presidential balloting.
In a sharp rebuttal, Akpaloo described the claims as baseless, going as far as saying that anyone who believes them must have “kerosene or urine in their brains.”
Speaking on the issue, Akpaloo explained that he had personally picked his ballot number 5 during the Electoral Commission’s ballot draw.

Initially, he drew the number 8 but expressed his dissatisfaction, as it reminded him of his previous ballot number 9 in the last elections, which didn’t yield positive results.
“I wasn’t happy with it because in the last elections I picked 9, which didn’t go in my favour, so I didn’t want anything around that number. 8 is not a good number for elections, so I was happy when they called for re-balloting and I picked 5,” he said.
In his defense against the allegations of ballot swapping, Akpaloo emphasized that he had no interest in exchanging his position with the NPP.
He revealed 1 is a perfect choice, and had God been kind to him to pick that number, he’ll be unwise to trade it with any other party.
According to him, the purported swapping was orchestrated by two NPP members and had nothing to do with him.
Akpaloo cautioned those making the accusations to refrain from dragging his name into what he described as an NPP internal issue.
