Stop perpetrating illegalities to manipulate elections- NPP Campaign Comms Director to NDC

The Campaign Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has cautioned the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to refrain from perpetrating illegalities to manipulate the elections.

He said the NDC knew they had already lost the elections because there was no way the good people of Ghana were going to vote for them and so they were resorting to illegalities.

Mr Aboagye, who was addressing the media in Accra today, said it was going to be extremely difficult for the NDC because the Electoral Commission (EC), the security services, and “our ever-hardworking party people in each of the 40,000 police stations were vigilant and were on high alert".

“It is important that I make the point, the NPP is not sending out misinformation and disinformation. What we are doing is to highlight specific issues that are going on that have already been sanctioned by the police and the EC to ensure that we encourage every candidate to also be on the lookout, be on the watch, and prevent such things from happening,” Mr Aboagye stressed, saying: “With the new laws and work that is going on, it is clear that the NDC are failing, and they are struggling, and they are failing woefully.”

Mr Aboagye called on the Ghana Police Service to update Ghanaians on the status of each of the single arrests they had made and said: “We need to bring these things to the attention of the Ghanaian people.

“To our very good Ghanaian people, be rest assured that we are going to increase the vigilance at the police stations, and we call on all of you to join us in this endeavour,” he added and said “We believe that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is winning this election, and winning it in a very big way and that is why we want this election to be free and fair.”

He said it was an election that the NPP was winning and so it did not want the elections to be disrupted.

Mr Aboagye said the NPP was committed to protecting every vote and was, therefore, going to work with all Ghanaians till the end of the election to ensure a peaceful, free and fair election that would reflect the views of the Ghanaian people.
