“They intend to get their guys to paste posters and distribute leaflets to indicate GRV continued to campaign after the statutory time allowed,” the campaign team said in a statement.

“They also intend to ‘arrest’ some people thumb printing ballot papers to indicate GRV is involved in rigging.”

The campaign team dissociated Rhodes-Vivour from any forms of electoral malpractice, noting that security agencies must preemptively investigate the reports and ensure the Saturday election is free and fair.
