EC avows determination to aid the ruling NPP in stealing the outcome of the 2024 elections- Mahama
The Former President and the Flagbearer of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress, H.E John Dramani Mahama has registered his displeasure over the electoral commission’s decision not to allow party agents to observe the ongoing vote transfer exercise at the various EC district offices.
The Former President accused the Electoral Commission of being in bed with the NPP in order to plot means of rigging the 2024 general elections but was quick to add that, the attempt by the EC and the NPP will never see the light of day.
He adds that, the ruling New Patriotic party is clearly aware of their defeat come December 7 polls and only resort to skewing dubious means of transferring voters from their strong holds to the NDC strong holds in order to win more parliamentary seats that will set the base for the EC to rig the election in favour of the NPP.
The Electoral Commission after adopting and accepting to allow party agents to be present and monitor the ongoing vote transfer exercise after an IPAC meeting held last week only took a U-turn Monday afternoon directing that no political party agent should be allowed at the center.
Also an emergency IPAC meeting called on Monday June 3, 2024 after the EC’s strange change of mind ended inconclusive after the opposition NDC could not adduse any tangible reasons from the EC’s decision.
Read Below is the full statement issued and posted by the Former President John Dramani Mahama on his Facebook page minutes ago:
The Electoral Commission’s decision not to allow agents of political parties to observe the ongoing voter transfer exercise points to only one reason— the EC’s avowed determination to aid the ruling NPP in stealing the outcome of the 2024 elections.
But as I have continued to repeat, and did the past weekend in Tongo, this collusion between the EC and the NPP will not work. They will fail!
I am not surprised that the NPP and the EC quickly reversed a collective decision taken at an IPAC meeting last week to have political party agents present at the district offices for the transfer exercise.
The NPP knows and internally admits that it will lose the 2024 presidential elections. We also know that, as a last resort, it seeks to deploy gerrymandering during this voter transfer period to improve its chances in the parliamentary elections in the erroneous belief that it may rely on that to affect its presidential votes.
Again, they will fail because that strategy will not work.
We have in our possession a long list of constituencies in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions and selected places in Greater Accra and other regions where the NPP is seeking to transfer thousands of voters from their strongholds to offset the NDC’s gains in constituencies we control.
Ghanaians have already decided to vote Akufo-Addo and Bawumia out because of the unprecedented hardships they are faced with due to their economic mismanagement and deep-seated corruption.
I am certain that no amount of collusion between the Electoral Commission and the NPP can rescue the NPP on December 07, 2024.
We have instructed our party at all levels to continue to be present and observe the transfer process.
I challenge the EC leadership to live up to its expected mandate and stop working in the interest of the ruling party.
