NEW PATRIOTIC Party (NPP) Member of Parliament
(MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has charged members of his party to
protect the ballot boxes with vigilance on voting day – December 7, this
year.He alleged that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and
the Electoral Commission (EC) had teamed up to rig presidential elections, which
is slated for December 7, this year.
According to him, the only way of
preventing the EC and the NDC from carrying out their “diabolical plan” is for
NPP members to jealously protect the ballot boxes on the day of
election.
Mr. Agyapong sternly cautioned that if the NPP fails to
jealously guard the ballot boxes at the various polling stations across the 275
constituencies, the NDC would win the polls via dubious means.
He has
consequently tasked the NPP faithful to stay at the various polling stations,
even after they had voted, and watch the ballot boxes so that nobody could
tamper with them (boxes).
Mr. Agyapong was speaking during the NPP
post-manifesto launch rally on Sunday in Accra.
The programme was attended by
former President Kufuor, Nana Akufo-Addo, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and other party
stalwarts.
The outspoken NPP MP stressed, “If we have huge crowds at the
various polling centres, that will make it impossible for the polls to be
rigged.”
Mr. Agyapong noted that the NDC administration, after failing to
perform creditably in almost eight years, cannot win the election when it is
conducted in a free and fair manner. |
