The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) of colluding with the Electoral Commission (EC) to influence the outcome of the December 7 general elections in the NPP’s favour.
Addressing a mini rally in Sekondi in the Western Region on Tuesday, November 26, Mahama alleged that the EC had recruited 65 NPP members as part of its temporary staff for the upcoming elections in the Gomoa East constituency in the Central Region.
He claimed that these individuals, identified as card-bearing members of the NPP, were recommended to the EC by an NPP Member of Parliament and party executives.
Mahama argued that this development confirms the NDC’s suspicions of a coordinated effort between the EC and the government to manipulate the election results.
“We all have to be vigilant and keenly observe the polls because we can vote well, but some thieves will rig it. I have seen a video from Gomoa East which contains a recording showing that one NPP MP and his executives submitted 65 party members to an EC official who added them.
“So if such a person is the one at the polling station, do you think he will allow the polls to be fair? That is why we have always been saying that there is a collusion between the EC and the NPP to rig the elections and we have evidence from Gomoa East.”
