Election 2024: NPP colluding with EC to rig 2024 election, we have evidence from Gomoa East – Mahama

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) of working with the Electoral Commission (EC) to tilt the December 7 general elections in the NPP’s favor.

Speaking at a mini rally in Sekondi in the Western Region on Tuesday, November 26, Mahama alleged that the EC had hired 65 individuals affiliated with the NPP as part of its temporary staff in the Gomoa East constituency of the Central Region.

He claimed these recruits, identified as card-carrying members of the NPP, were recommended to the EC by an NPP Member of Parliament and other party executives.

Mahama said this development reinforces the NDC's concerns about a deliberate effort by the EC and the government to manipulate the election results.

“We all have to be vigilant and keenly observe the polls because we can vote well, but some thieves will rig it. I have seen a video from Gomoa East which contains a recording showing that one NPP MP and his executives submitted 65 party members to an EC official who added them.

“So if such a person is the one at the polling station, do you think he will allow the polls to be fair? That is why we have always been saying that there is a collusion between the EC and the NPP to rig the elections and we have evidence from Gomoa East.”
