Speaking to the media at the Ablekuma West Constituency, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful stated that:

"We've asked them [NPP party agents] to work for us since dawn. We have to ensure that we've given them breakfast, we've given them lunch, and we've given them dinner. And so we have cars going around distributing food to our agents."
