RIGGING ALERT !! Measure to curb it revealed!

With the December 28th election approaching and speculation of rigging suspicion on both sides very high, I hereby suggest an immediate proposition to ensure the integrity of the process is upheld in high esteem.

We all know that, the ballot papers are printed within the country and copies of these papers has already been rumored to be in custody of the ruling NPP, I therefore suggest that, the electoral commission allow POLLING AGENTS representing the two parties to append their signature at the back of the ballot paper before a voter cast his/her ballot.

This way, no foreign ballot papers can be cushioned into the original ballot papers and the integrity of the process will be highly upheld.

The EC has serial numbers on the ballot papers and also put stamp at the back of the ballot paper but disputes in parliamentary elections in Weija and Ayawasa Central has revealed that, people have in custody all these materials because they are made within the country.

Who can sign additional one thousand signatures of two agents on election night on foreign ballot paper to rig election like IC Quaye did? NONE!!! This is the best way to go !!!

God bless Ghana
