We don’t plan to rig 2024 elections – EC tells NDC
The Electoral Commission (EC) has denied claims made by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of attempts to rig the 2024 General Elections in favor of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The National Democratic Party (NDP) declared that President Akufo-Addo had been strengthened by the Electoral Management body, despite criticizing him for his remarks about not giving up power to someone he had won.
The Election Commission (EC) was cautioned by the NDC not to manipulate the results in favor of the NPP during a news conference on Thursday, May 16.
Addressing the media in Accra on Friday, May 17, Deputy Electoral Commissioner Samuel Tettey indicated that the electoral process makes rigging impossible.
The deputy commissioner insisted that the EC cannot be blamed for the outcome of electoral results, urging political parties to adequately train agents to actively observe the polls.
“The Electoral Commission is in no position to rig the 2024 general election for any political party, the electoral process is transparent, and contains all the necessary checks and participation of all stakeholders, especially the political parties, such that rigging an election in Ghana is impossible.”
