Mahama accuses EC of ‘aiding’ NPP to ‘rig’ Ghana’s Election 2024

Former President John Dramani Mahama has accused the Electoral Commission of aiding the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to “rig” Election 2024.

Mr Mahama, the Presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), made the allegation in a Facebook post.

Attach below is a copy of the Facebook post

With less than 24 hours to go, it has become obvious that the Electoral Commission (EC) is determined to aid the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rig the elections. But they will fail because the people of Ghana are determined to vote for change and protect their ballots. 

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

Such exposure allows the party that has printed fake ballot papers to produce similar stamps to use in order to achieve a semblance of validity.

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

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