The flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani
Mahama, has cautioned the Electoral Commission’s leadership “to live up to its expected
mandate and stop working in the interest of the ruling party” in a Facebook post on Monday,
June 03, 2024.
Please find below the full Facebook post:
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 deepseated 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.
