2024 Election: Go along with your cutlasses to your polling stations – Mustafa Gbandi to NDC supporters
Mustafa Gbandi, the deputy general secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has counseled Ghanaians to prepare for the general elections scheduled for December 7, 2024, by arming themselves.
Speaking on Okay FM in Accra, Mustafa Gbande of the NDC stated: “I have told the leadership of the NDC that we have to prepare in advance for the NPP ahead of the elections. when we are going to the polling station, let’s carry with us cutlasses. if we do, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not be able to misbehave toward us.”
Mr. Mustafa Gbandi insisted that, in the opinion of the NDC, arming voters at polling places is the only way to ensure a free and fair election when Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, the show’s host, pressed him to explain his actions as a senior member of the nation’s largest opposition party.
