Don't be 'conduit' to Akufo-Addo's 'I can't hand over power to Mahama' scheme: NDC warns EC

The Electoral Commission must not be part of President Nana Akufo-Addo's plan to not hand over power to former President John Mahama, the main opposition National Democratic Congress has warned.
At a press conference on Thursday, May 9, 2024, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the National Chairman of the NDC, noted: "We do not expect the Electoral Commission of Ghana to act as the conduit through which Akufo-Addo will implement his avowed determination not to hand over power to the visionary, experienced and trustworthy John Dramani Mahama."
Hr said: "NPP must choose a peaceful transfer of power from NPP to NDC in their own interest", warning: "The 2024 elections will not be business as usual".
Concerning the ongoing limited voter registration exercise, Mr Nketia said the NDC will not tolerate the EC's opacity anymore.
“We wish to serve notice and notice is hereby served that NDC registration agents across the country will resist the EC’s clandestine attempts aimed at diminishing transparency in the voter registration exercise", he indicated.
“Let me emphasise that our agents must activate the party’s super hi-tech application systems to transmit all serial numbers of BVR kits in their districts and electoral areas to the National Elections and IT Directorate of the party, with or without the approval of the EC.”
He rallied support from non-political stakeholders in demanding transparency in the electoral process.
“Finally, let me use this opportunity to repeat our call to all CSOs, chiefs, opinion leaders, and faith-based organisations to join us to demand more transparency and fairness which is a necessary pre-condition for peaceful elections,” he said.
