President John Dramani Mahama has asked the New Patriotic Party(NPP) to desist from claims that the Electoral Commission (EC) is planning to rig the elections in his favour.
Speaking at a rally in Funsi in the Wa East Constituency of the Upper West Region, he described the claims as absurd nonsense as Ghana’s EC is one of the best in the world.
“There has been a consistent criticism of the Electoral Commission in the run up to the elections. Indeed they have said the most unspeakable things about the Chairman of the Electoral Commission and that is all preparing the minds of their supporters for when they lose so when they lose they can blame the Electoral Commission as not being neutral,â€he said.
“Some of them have gone to the extent of saying the Electoral Commission is preparing to rig the elections for John Mahama. What absurd nonsense?Ghana’s Electoral system is one of the best in the world. Note my words, not in Africa , in the world because it has inherent instruments for guaranteeing its integrity,â€he added.
He therefore urged all Ghanaians to come out in their numbers and vote for the NDC during the December 7 elections which is just 19 days away.
