NDC Press Release

NDC Press Release On The Gross Irregularities Going On During Today’s December 28th Presidential Runoff.

There is more than compelling evidence across the length and breadth of the country that all is not well with the election process and especially so in the Ashanti Region and parts of the Eastern Region.

For a considerable period, the NDC has made request to the EC. regarding figures relating to proxy list, transfer list, absentee list and special or early voting list from the Electoral commission.

As we speak, we have not received these figures.

We saw an abuse of the special voting in Ashanti region barely 5 days ago. Now the proxy voting is being abused.

Widespread intimidation, harassment, assaults and arrests of polling agents and NDC functionaries are rife and commonplace in the Ashanti Region.

The current position and state of affairs in Ashanti Region and parts of Eastern Region will make it difficult for figures from these Regions to be accepted by the NDC, especially since in many polling stations, our polling agents were not permitted by the electoral and security officers to participate in the vetting of voters for purposes of authentication, and many polling stations are no longer being manned by the NDC polling agents due to harassments, intimidation and assaults from NPP supporters and, in some instances, security personnel.

This unacceptable situation has reached alarming proportions as a number of NDC agents and supporters are either on admission in hospitals in the Ashanti Region, or are receiving treatment, with others languishing in police station cells.

We warned the country about what the NPP was planning. Now the warning has become a reality.

The world is watching us and currently, we are failing ourselves us Ghanaians based on developments in Ashanti and Eastern Region.

I thank you for listening and May GOD truly Bless our Homeland Ghana.
