NDC Sept 17 Demonstration We Want the EC to Sit Up and Do Its Job Mahama

Flagbearer of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has clarified that, the 17th September nationwide Demonstration to be carried out by the NDC, is only meant to get the Electoral Commission to do the right thing.

The NDC argues that, the EC remains adamant in responding to the call for a forensic audit of the Voters register following discrepancies identified by the NDC during the Voter exhibition exercise conducted by the EC from August 20 through to 27, 2024.

The NDC explains that, the current register if not properly scrutinized will mar the credibility of the upcoming December 7 General elections.

During the Greater Accra regional tour, specifically to the Ngleshie-Amanfro-Bortianor, and Weija Constituencies, John Mahama called on all Ghanaians and sympathisers of the NDC to rally behind the NDC as they embark on demonstration against the EC to ensure a free and fair electoral process.

John Mahama said, “And I just want to make a point that our issues with the Electoral Commission are not because we don’t like the Commissioners or the EC. Our issue with the Electoral Commission is that we want peace during and after the election."

“So when we raise issues about the electoral process, it is because we want the EC to sit up and do its job so that all of us can have confidence in the electoral process."

"And the only way we can get the EC to do its job is to pressure the EC to do it. And that is why on the 17th of this month, that is next Tuesday, we are doing a demonstration at the EC office. And that demonstration is not only NDC, it is all Ghanaians who are willing to join the demonstration so that we go and tell EC to sit up and do its work properly so that we have a peaceful election. That’s the purpose of that demonstration,” he clarified.Kobina Darlington/
