The EC and NPP are working together to rig the elections – John Mahama alleges

Former
President
and
NDC
presidential
candidate,
John
Dramani
Mahama,
has
accused
the
ruling
NPP
and
the
Electoral
Commission
(EC)
of
attempting
to
rig
the
upcoming
December
7
elections.

Speaking
at
a
mini
rally
in
Sekondi
on
November
26,
2024,
Mahama
alleged
that
the
EC
was
colluding
with
the
NPP
through
compromised
officials
tasked
with
manipulating
the
electoral
process.

He
urged
the
EC
to
address
these
claims
by
removing
such
individuals
and
called
on
NDC
supporters
to
remain
vigilant
throughout
the
election
period
to
safeguard
fairness.

“The
NDC
is
very
alert
this
year,”
he
stated.
“No
party
should
dare
attempt
rigging
the
election.”

In
response,
EC
Chairperson
Jean
Mensa
has
dismissed
the
allegations
and
emphasized
that
the
Commission’s
dedication
to
free,
fair,
and
transparent
elections
still
holds.

In
a
press
brief,
she
highlighted
that
preparations,
including
the
special
voting
exercise
set
for
December
2,
were
on
track
to
ensure
a
credible
process.

The
tension
shows
the
high
stakes
of
the
2024
elections,
with
both
sides
urging
transparency
and
accountability.
