With less than 24 hours it's obvious EC is determined to aid NPP rig election 2024 – Mahama alleges

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of plotting with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rig the 2024 general election.

In a post on social media, the former President said although the NDC has reported several cases of Validating Stamps to the Commission since Thursday night, the Commission has refused to issue a clear and unambiguous directive to stop their staff from disclosing the identities and details of the validating stamps ahead of tomorrow's general elections.

“With less than 24 hours to go, it has become obvious that the Electoral Commission is determined to aid the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rig the elections. But they will fail because the people of Ghana are determined to vote for change and protect their ballots,” John Dramani Mahama said in his press release on Facebook.

The former president noted that an internal memo of the Commission dated 10th October 2024 gives away EC and NPP well-calculated plot to aid ballot stuffing by exposing the serial numbers of the validating stamp before voting day, tomorrow.

Mahama has called on the National Peace Council, Religious and Traditional Leaders, Civil Society, the International Community and the Election Observer Missions to call the Electoral Commission to order before Saturday’s polls.

This allegation comes after EC Chair, Jean Mensa gave the assurance that the Commission is committed to overseeing orderly, credible, fair, and highly professional efficient elections on Saturday.
