President of Groupe Ideal, Nii Kotei Dzani, has vehemently dismissed allegations that he bribed some delegates in the just-ended Council of State elections.
Some of the contenders alleged Dr. Dzani bought votes to win the elections held on Thursday.
But Dr. Dzani in an interview on Morning Starr told host Francis Abban that he won the election through hardwork.
“I didn’t buy votes,” Dr. Dzani said adding “unfortunately we are in a country that immediately after an election there are allegations of vote buying, why should I buy votes, why should I.”
Dr. Dzani won the Greater Accra slot on Thursday with 20 votes while his closest contender Nene Atiapa polled 12. The rest of the candidates had no votes.
