With less than 24 hours to Ghana's December 7 general elections, former President and National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of conspiring with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to manipulate the outcome of the upcoming polls.

In a statement on Facebook, Mr. Mahama alleged that the EC's actions, including the exposure of validating stamps, are part of a calculated plan to facilitate ballot stuffing.

"Since Thursday night, the National Democratic Congress has reported several cases of exposed Validating Stamps to the Commission, yet they have refused to issue a clear and unambiguous directive to stop their staff from disclosing the identities and details of the validating stamps ahead of tomorrow's general elections," Mr. Mahama wrote.

The NDC flagbearer further claimed that such disclosures could enable the production of fake ballots, compromising the integrity of the election process.

"An internal memo of the Commission dated 10th October 2024 gives away their well-calculated plot to aid ballot stuffing by exposing the serial numbers of the validating stamp before voting day, tomorrow," he indicated.

Mr. Mahama called on key stakeholders, including the National Peace Council, Religious and Traditional Leaders, Civil Society, the International Community, and Election Observer Missions, to intervene and ensure the EC operates transparently.

"I call on the National Peace Council, Religious and Traditional Leaders, Civil Society, the International Community, and the Election Observer Missions to call the Electoral Commission to order," he urged.
