NPP conniving with EC to rig elections – NDC alleges
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it has
intercepted a leaked recording that proves that
some leading members of the New Patriotic Party
(NPP), including Mike Oquaye and Lord Commey,
attempted to connive with some Election officers
to rig the upcoming polls.

The party at a media briefing on Monday said it
will report the matter to the Electoral Commission
(EC) and the Criminal Investigations Department
(CID) of the Ghana Police Service to take swift
action.

With barely 48-hours to Ghana’s general
elections, both the NPP and the NDC have been
engaged in accusations and counter-accusations
over plans to rig the general elections.

The NPP had earlier on Monday said it had
discovered several ballots thumb-printed for
President Mahama in a guest house in the Ashanti
Regional capital.

But according to the National Organizer of the
NDC, Kofi Adams, who addressed the press on
Monday, said the party has compelling evidence to
prove the NPP has plans of rigging the elections.

He said the NPP wants to undermine the electoral
process with its negative schemes.

He said, “we should not be surprised that in
2016, a desperate political party like the NPP
will be engaging in this acts. As a responsible
party, we will this afternoon lodge an official
complaint to the Electoral Commission so that a
position is taken on their officers who are
involved in all these activities. We will also be
submitting these recordings to the CID a the
police headquarters to have a thorough
investigation into these matters and all those
involved will be dealt with.”

“We are committed to a few fair and transparent
elections. We are very much aware that our
candidate, has lived up to expectations. You need
not walk far to see a development in the area.”
