There is a collusion between EC and the NPP to rig the elections - Mahama

Ghana's opposition leader, John Dramani Mahama, has raised concerns about the integrity of the country's electoral process, alleging a collusion between the ruling party and the Electoral Commission (EC) to manipulate the outcome of the December 7 general elections.

Mahama's concerns center on the recruitment of temporary staff by the EC, which he claims includes card-bearing members of the ruling party.

Addressing a mini rally in Sekondi in the Western Region on Tuesday, November 26, Mahama alleged that the EC had recruited 65 NPP members as part of its temporary staff for the upcoming elections in the Gomoa East constituency in the Central Region.

“We all have to be vigilant and keenly observe the polls because we can vote well, but some thieves will rig it. I have seen a video from Gomoa East which contains a recording showing that one NPP MP and his executives submitted 65 party members to an EC official who added them,'' he stated.

“So if such a person is the one at the polling station, do you think he will allow the polls to be fair? That is why we have always been saying that there is a collusion between the EC and the NPP to rig the elections and we have evidence from Gomoa East,'' he added.

This development has sparked fears of electoral manipulation and has led to calls for increased vigilance and transparency in the electoral process.
