The Minister for Inner City and Zongo Development, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is seeking to save their face knowing very well that defeat is staring at them.
This statement by Dr. Mustapha Hamid follows allegations of rigging and double voting in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) by the NDC.
Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Afriyie Ankrah at a press conference in Accra on Monday, December 7 accused the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, Chairman Wontumi, of leading the rigging efforts.
“We wish to call on our supporters and patriotic Ghanaians who have voted not to sit home especially in the Ashanti Region. Go back to the polling stations to observe the process. Don’t stay home. It is your presence and vigilance that has brought us this far, so everybody go back to the polling stations, observe the process, be vigilant and ensure that the right thing is done,” Afriyie Ankrah said at the press conference.
Reacting to the allegations of the NDC at a press conference, Mustapha Abdul-Hamid said the NDC and their presidential candidate know that they have lost the elections and so the only way they can manage the defeat is to poison the atmosphere.
“If you claim that you are winning an election, how do you discredit the elections you claim you are winning? Voting is still ongoing and so how do you know that ballot boxes are being stuffed. They are seeking to save face following the defeat that is staring at them. You are drowned and nobody is going to rescue you”, Mustapha told the media.
