NPP polling agents asked to be more vigilant

THE New Patriotic Party has commended its polling agents for their hard work and alertness so far but said they must be vigilant at this crucial stage of counting and sorting.

The General Secretary of the Party, Justine Frimpong Kodua, in a media briefing in Accra this evening said there was still more work to be done, including the counting of the ballots and collation.

“Let us continue to be vigilant. Let us not sleep. Let us make sure that the accurate votes are what are going to be counted,”Mr Kodua added.

Turnout

He also commended the members of the party on the field for the accurate information about the turnout across the country, which he acknowledged, had been very low in all the 16 regions.

“We have been monitoring situations in over 40,000 polling stations across the country. Indeed, on average, the turnout is between 60 per cent and 65 per cent.

He, however, assured the teeming supporters that the NPP was winning the election.

The NPP General-Secretary also called on the Ghana Police Service and the security agencies to make sure that all polling and collation centres were safe.

That, he said, was because opponents of the NPP had sensed that they would be defeated and so they wanted to cause confusion in the strongholds of the NPP.
