"EC's new voter register will not influence our victory" – NPP

The National campaign chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mac Manu, says the Party is prepared to campaign and win the endorsement of the overwhelming majority of the Ghanaian people once again in the next poll based on the Party’s performance and not a voter register.
He stated that the NPP will win the 2020 elections based purely on what the party is delivering to protect and improve the lives of the people in every corner of the country.
Responding to the allegation that the NPP set out to rig the 2020 general elections with the compilation of the new voters register leveled by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), National campaign chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mac Manu, said the focus of the NPP is to manage the crisis caused by Covid-19 in a way that the Ghanaian economy and society will come out of this crisis stronger and more united.
He added that the plan of the NDC is nothing more than to fabricate grounds for chaos, disunity and fear since they do not have a good candidate and a good story to tell voters in December.
He called on Ghanaians to ask the NDC what is it about the 2012 voters register that it is so determined to protect it from being replaced as well as what is in the 2012 register that the NDC is threatening civil war if it is changed for a better one.
“But it is important we make it clear that the NPP is and cannot be part of any conspiracy whatsoever to rig the 2020 elections. The NDC has sat together to plan and have finally come out with the details of their fake conspiracy theory against the NPP. A fake conspiracy does not become a credible conspiracy just because an opposition that is afraid of losing a free and fair contest says so… It is important that we support the EC in all the processes that will lead to delivering free, fair and credible elections”.
“We do not need the EC to rig an election in our favour. A government that has put some 1.3 million children to school, (who if NDC was in power would be on the streets) does not need an election to be rigged in its favour. A government that has restored industry and is creating jobs for the people does not need an election to be rigged in its favour. A government that has put 100,000 unemployed graduates to work does not need an election to be rigged in its favour”, he said
He urged the NDC to be constructive in discussing how at least the over one million Ghanaians who will be old enough to register to vote this year will be done even under this period of social distancing.
