The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of plotting with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rig the 2024 general elections.
Mahama made this accusation in a Facebook after the EC decided not to allow agents of political parties to observe the ongoing vote transfer exercise.
“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”, Mahama said.
He further noted that, the NPP and its leadership are very much aware that the NDC will win the upcoming general elections, which is why it has resorted to an unholy alliance with the EC.
“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.”
On Sunday June 2, 2024, the EC directed its officers not to allow party agents observe the voter transfer exercise.
This decision, according to the NDC is unlawful thereby insisting all party agents must observe the exercise
