NPP to use drones to monitor elections in Volta Region
Credible information available to
Kasapafmonline.com indicates that the largest
opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) will deploy
drones to monitor the December 7 general elections
in the Volta Region.

This website, can say on authority that the NPP is
introducing sophisticated technology to observe
the polls in a region which remains a difficult
ground for the party during elections, as it
garners insignificant numbers of valid votes
cast.

Highly placed sources in the NPP who spoke to
Kasapafmonline.com under strict condition of
anonymity say, the party has secured the services
of a crack foreign technology firm to assist it in
this regard as the party is leaving nothing to
chance with its monitoring of this year’s
elections.

The Director of Communications for the NPP, Nana
Akomea speaking on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana
show could not confirm or deny the intended use of
the drones, except to tell host, Paul Adom Otchere
that he’ll marvel if he (Nana Akomea) should
tell him off-air, the sort of preparation that has
been made to monitor the elections.

The NPP which challenged the results of the 2012
elections at the Supreme Court over several
anomalies during that polls in a hearing that
lasted about eight months, has served notice that
it will be extra vigilant this time around as it
will no longer resort to the courts to challenge
the election results.

Ghana goes to the polls coming Wednesday in an
election which political watchers say is crucial
to the political ambitions of the two leading
candidates, incumbent President John Mahama and
NPP’s Nana Akufo Addo.

While, President John Mahama is striving not to be
the first President to be kicked out of office
after his first term under the Fourth Republic,
Nana Akufo Addo is bent on winning the elections
as this is most likely his third and final attempt
at ascending to the Presidency.
