The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is making every  effort to rig the December 7 polls in their favour, Deputy General Secretary  of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has alleged.

According to Mr Anyidoho, intelligence available to them [NDC] suggests that the NPP intends to clone the machines and end up jamming the machines and distorting the electoral process in their favour.

‘We have picked intelligence that the NPP wants to clone EC machines at undesignated centres to rig the elections which will in turn jam EC machines. They are the ones planning to rig the elections and not NDC; it is possible for them to swap EC machines with theirs", he claimed.

Speaking on Abusua FM’s Abusua Nkommo on Friday , he posited it was for the purposes testing their rigging apparatus that the party's vice presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia decided to undertake his voter verification outside the EC’s designated centre in his constituency.

"That is why Bawumia did what he did. That is the same reason why they wanted to change the voters’ register at all cost, …Bawumia and Nana Addo should bow their heads in shame, we NDC don’t have rigging formula, we have a manifesto that is why we have been campaigning strongly, we have a strong message,’ he said in an apparent reaction to accusations by the NPP that that the NDC were expects in vote rigging.

‘It’s very ironical that the same Ablekuma West constituency where Nana Addo has been accused of rigging elections in favour of his close friend and associates Ursula Owusu,  you stand in the same place to accuse your opponent of having copy right in election rigging,’ he wondered.
