Speaking to journalists, the ex-minister said: “I must sound this note of warning that it is not this way in a lot of other wards.
“Reports reaching me state that there are a lot of gross misconducts in the other wards ranging from various forms of infractions.
“In some wards, they held the election hours before the appointed time and wrote the figures they liked.
