NDC to give 2020 ballots close marking - Mahama

Former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama says the party will play its role to ensure a peaceful election but will refuse to accept results of a "flawed election".

The Ex-President was speaking at the commemoration of the 28th anniversary of the party.

He said the NDC has a history of accepting results of elections whenever it believed in the integrity of the poll.

"As leader of the NDC, I wish to serve notice that we shall do all on our part to ensure that our country remains peaceful and then the electoral process proceeds smoothly, but, and a big but, let nobody assume that we would accept the results of a flawed election”, Mahama emphasized.

Policing of poll

John Mahama pledged support for party activists at the branch and constituency levels to police the poll from the voting point until the declaration of the final results.

“At every single level of the election, we will closely police the poll, there will be a boot-for-boot policing and vigilant policing of the poll”, he said.

Adding to the policing of poll, Mahama said “No ballot paper will escape our scrutiny, no ballot box will go out of our sight until all the votes have been counted, collated, accounted for and the final results declared.”

The NDC party was founded by Jerry John Rawlings who was the Head of State from 1981 to 1993 and later became the President from 1993 to January 7, 2001.
