NPP's Strategy To Disenfranchise NDC Members To Win 2016 Elections Exposed

NPP under Nana Addo has realised that the unprecedented developmental projects Ghanaians have witnessed under Mahama government and poor leadership of the flagbearer of the NPP which has lead to divisions in the NPP party will definitely cause their defeat in 2016.

The main strategy of the NPP is to reduce the number of voters who traditionally vote for the NDC with the hope that the NPP can slip through to win the elections.

We all know that NDC as a party has a massive support in the rural areas, being a social democratic party, they have managed to improve the lives of people in the rural areas with so many pro-poor policies.

NPP on the other hand, has most of their supporters in the urban areas and only two regions out of of ten regions in Ghana even though NDC is making a huge progress by increasing their urban votes.

Most people in the urban areas have a passport or driving licence so they registered to vote using a passport or driving license as a form of identification. Most people in the rural areas don't use have a passport or driving licence so they used NHIS card as a form of ID which was backed by law at the time of registration.

NPP have realised that if they delete the names of people who used NHIS card to register, it will significantly affect the NDC votes in the 2016 elections, because most people will not be able to go and re-register. Nana Addo and his party wanted most names to be deleted from the register to have a bigger impact on the NDC votes.This strategy emerged after their ploy to get rid of the existing voters register and have a new one so that they can register minors in their strongholds failed.

My advice to the NPP is to reinstate all party members who have been unduly removed from the party or from their elected positions and unite the party, come out with a realistic and achievable campaign message not the ridiculous "free education under trees" or "factories in every district" without thinking about the factories they want to, how much they will cost and where they will get the money from? Moreover, the implications on other sectors.

The best thing to do is to change their flagbearer who has divided the party and heading them to another defeat.

To the NDC which has performed incredibly well, the deleted list should be scrutinised and their members assisted to re-register even if it will mean physically taking them to the EC office to register.

The dubious intentions to disenfranchise bonafide electorates so that Nana Addo wins 2016 elections just like they attempt to overthrow a constitutionally elected president by annulling legitimate votes and declaring Nana Addo winner through the supreme Court failed.

LONG LIVE PRESIDENT MAHAMA!
LONG LIVE NDC!
LONG LIVE GHANA!
