Democratic Congress (NDC) is conniving with the EC and the security agencies to
rig the upcoming December 7 polls.According to him, he has intercepted
documents which clearly shows the calculated plans of the Electoral Commission
together with the ruling NDC and the security agencies to rig the elections
through intimidations and stuffing the ballot boxes with thumb printed
papers.

Hon. Ken Agyapong revealed that the NDC has the intention of bribing all the
polling agents of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in order to stuff the
ballot boxes with the thump printed papers.
He added that the survey
showing that the New Patriotic Party’s Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo- Addo
will win the 2016 Presidential election will not materialized if his party (NPP)
executives do not sit up and be vigilant during the day of
elections.
“There is a deliberate attempt by the EC and security
agencies to rig the elections for the NDC and they intend to bribe our polling
agents to pave way to stuff the ballot boxes with their thump printed papers at
some strongholds of the NPP,” he asserted.
“NDC has plans to
offer Ghc600 bribe to NPP polling agents at some polling stations and those NPP
polling agents in Volta Region they are prepared to offer them Ghc2,000 as a
bribe to pave way for them to stuff the ballot boxes, but it will not work this
time,” he alleged.
He reiterated that “all the strongholds of
the NPP has been earmarked as flashpoints in order to intimidate the electorates
from voting, but the only way we can win this elections is to be vigilant at the
polling stations in our strongholds.”
He warned party Executives to
take up these alarming situations serious and not to rely on the surveys
indicating a resounding victory for Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP as there are
schemes by the NDC and the EC to rig the elections. |
