NPP Seeks to Transfer Voters to NDC’s Strongholds- Mahama Alleges

The 2024 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has alleged that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is looking forward to manipulating the electoral roll by transferring voters from their strongholds to that of the NDC.

According to the leader of the opposition party, they have a list of areas where the governing party intends to transfer the voters.

In a Facebook post, he said this is one of the means the NPP is seeking to deploy to frustrate the NDC’s aim to come back to power and win themselves more Parliamentary seats as they envisage a loss in the Presidential election.

“We have in our possession a long list of constituencies in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions and selected places in Greater Accra and other regions where the NPP is seeking to transfer thousands of voters from their strongholds to offset the NDC’s gains in constituencies we control.

“Ghanaians have already decided to vote Akufo-Addo and Bawumia out because of the unprecedented hardships they are faced with due to their economic mismanagement and deep-seated corruption. I am certain that no amount of collusion between the Electoral Commission and the NPP can rescue the NPP on December 07, 2024.”

This is in response to the EC’s restriction of political party agents from vote transfer centres across the country following violence that has characterized the exercise in parts of the country.

Mr Mahama is of the view that the EC intends to aid the NPP in rigging the election.

“The Electoral Commission’s decision not to allow agents of political parties to observe the ongoing voter transfer exercise points to only one reason— the EC’s avowed determination to aid the ruling NPP in stealing the outcome of the 2024 elections. But as I have continued to repeat and did the past weekend in Tongo, this collusion between the EC and the NPP will not work. They will fail!”

He continued, “I am not surprised that the NPP and the EC quickly reversed a collective decision taken at an IPAC meeting last week to have political party agents present at the district offices for the transfer exercise.”
