NDC Vows To Protect Ghana’s Democracy, Accuses NPP of Election-Rigging – Sammy Gyamfi

Sammy Gyamfi, National Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), addressed a press conference at the NDC’s headquarters, making some serious allegations against the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). Gyamfi claimed that the NPP is plotting to rig the upcoming December 7 polls, under the instruction of President Akufo-Addo.

According to him, Brigadier-General Michael Opoku, currently the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Central Command of the Ghana Armed Forces, has been mandated to spearhead this election-rigging scheme. Gyamfi alleged that Opoku’s plan involves ballot stuffing, swapping of ballot boxes, and other clandestine activities, particularly in the Ashanti region.

Gyamfi linked Brigadier-General Opoku to the infamous Ayawaso West Wugon bye-election violence on January 31, 2019, where many innocent Ghanaians were shot, brutalized, and maimed. The Emile Short Commission even recommended that Opoku be reprimanded for his role in the incident.

“The NDC will not sit idle and watch as the NPP attempts to undermine the democratic process. We will hold the security agencies accountable for any violence or irregularities that occur during the elections,” Gyamfi emphasized.

TUESDAY, 19TH NOVEMBER, 2024
1.⁠ ⁠Good morning, distinguished ladies and gentlemen of the press. We thank you for responding to our call to this very important engagement.
2.⁠ ⁠We have invited you here today in connection with credible reports we have received on the nefarious activities of one Brigadier-General Micheal Opoku, calculated at rigging the upcoming December 7 Polls for the ruling New Patriotic Party.

3.⁠ ⁠We in the NDC are convinced that Ghanaians will vote for change on December 7, because the people of Ghana will choose the experienced, tried and tested nation builder, John Dramani Mahama over the dangerous and fraudulent experiment called Alhaji Bawumia.
4.⁠ ⁠The NPP knows this and seeing defeat staring at them in the face, have resorted to dark and evil plans to rig the election through ballot stuffing, swapping of ballot boxes, pink sheets and other shady activities using willing and dangerous collaborators in the state security apparatus such as Brigadier-General Opoku and the 2BN Commanding Officer, Lt. Colonel Nyarko Osae.
5.⁠ ⁠Ladies and gentlemen, Ghana is all we have, hence the NDC’s unconditional commitment to peace. Anyone who plots or attempts to subvert the will of the people by undermining the sanctity of the electoral process is an enemy of the state and must be dealt with in accordance with law.
Thank you for your attention and may God bless our homeland Ghana.
