Former Director of Elections of the National Democratic Congres (NDC), Elvis Afriyie Ankrah has said although the NDC stands a high chance of winning the 2024 general elections, members of the party who are already celebrating should stop the ‘premature jubilation’ and work hard to ensure the victory is delivered.
He stated that the party needs unity and hard work at this point to win the elections.
“The NDC’s chances are clear,” he said on the Big Issue with Roland Walker on TV3 Thursday, December 14
He added, “We should be careful and not jubilate prematurely, the elections are not over, we must come together with unity of purpose and work hard and ensure we rescue this country.”
The former Minister of Youth and Sports further accused the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration of destroying the economy.
“The elections go beyond NDC and NPP, it is about the soul and the future of this country.
“These people have messed up the country, we have huge debts and the country cannot afford to have NPP again,” he said.
Meanwhile, Former President John Dramani Mahama has told the Electoral Commission (EC) not to rig the general election for any candidate.
Speaking to a charged crowd of students of the Wiaso College of Education and Nursing Training in the Western North Region as part of the ‘Building Ghana Together’ tour, the former president said a credible election is dependent on the posture of the Electoral Commission.
“They should do their duty to God and country. They shouldn’t cheat for anybody. I don’t want them to cheat for me and they shouldn’t rig the election for anybody”, John Mahama stressed.
“They should let the wishes of the Ghanaian people prevail,” he said.
“Electoral Commission Officers, I am appealing to your conscience and your heart, on that day 7th December when you come out, do your work as strictly and according to the rules as possible”.
