John Setor Dumelo, the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon, has urged vigilance on behalf of his party.
He thinks the current administration is hiding something from the public, and if the NDC doesn’t keep a close eye on things, they might lose the elections.
“It is not done and dusted. Until the last ballot paper is counted, it is not done and dusted. There is a lot of work. People cannot say because people are fed up with the NPP it is a done deal for the NDC, no, it is not a done deal till the last ballot paper has been counted and President Mahama has been declared a winner and most of our MPs including myself are in Parliament it is not a done deal.
“We have to be vigilant because these guys are going to steal. Yes, elections are free but it cannot be fair when it comes to the NPP so we are ready for them. Go to the Ashanti Region, you have people just thumbprinting the ballot papers,” he said.
Regarding the reason why John Dramani Mahama’s defeat acknowledged while knowing the New Patriotic Party had stolen every election they had won, he remarked : “Because he is a peaceful man. They rigged it. How can you get one million votes? We have had a thorough analysis of the 2020 elections and we realized that there was a rigging machinery.”
Members of the NDC were given assurances by John Dumelo that 2024 will be different due to the implementation of safeguards that will prevent the NPP from rigging the elections “the voice of the people is always going to be the voice of God.”
