Pray for EC – Akufo-Addo tells Ghanaians The presidential candidate of the New Patrotic
Party (NPP) Nana Akufo Addo wants Ghanaians to
keep praying for the Electoral Commission.
He made this appeal when he spoke at the Nyame
Bekyere SDA church at Berekum East in the Brong
Ahafo Region.
“Let’s pray for the EC, because in the game of
football, the referee distorts the game if he is
biased. Let’s pray that God keeps an eye on the
EC so that they make decisions that will not bring
chaos.
If they are able to do this, whoever wins or loses
will accept it in good faith. Pray for the NPP as
well, so that we win this year’s elections. We
have policies and plans that will help the country
to grow,” Nana Addo told the congregants.
The NPP flagbearer is currently on a four-day tour
of the Brong Ahafo Region.
In the last few weeks, he has taken his campaign
to the Volta Region, the Greater Accra Region,
Ashanti Region and the Eastern Region.
His main opponent, President John Mahama, is
currently campaigning in the Greater Accra
Region.
EC’s Troubles
The Electoral Commission has been up against a
barrage of lawsuits after it disqualified the
flagbearers of some parties and an independent
nominee because of some anomalies in their
nomination forms.
The Supreme Court ordered the commission to give
the disqualified nominees to correct those
anomalies.
After the corrections had been made, the EC
announced that the PPP, NDP and PNC would join the
NPP, NDC, CPP and the independent candidate,
Joseph Osei Yeboah, on the ballot paper. Source - Citifmonline
