The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has tagged the NDC’s press conference a “flip-flop” since it was full of distortions. .
The NDC earlier held a press conference claiming to have flipped a lot of parliamentary seats from that of the NPP.
But reacting to the NDC’s press conference, John Boadu said,”The NDC held a press conference to announce the list of parliamentary seats they claim to have flipped, including ones they are yet to be declared and others they did not win, such as AAP, where our candidate, Elvis Donkor has retained his seat.. This is characteristics of the NDC which made that infamous claim around this time four years ago, that they were in a comfortable lead, when their candidate, John Mahama had been comfortably beaten,”he said.
John Boadu added that, “When we came out in 2016 to show that we were winning, we did so with facts and data from the polling station results, nothing close to such preparedness was obvious today at the NDC’s press conference. The NDC have obviously from not learnt from the 2016 mistake and incompetence. It is obvious that they have no proper system of collation and rely on fake results.”
He also noticed that the NDC was so unprepared that in the middle of the press conference, the speaker, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah had to rely on Sammy Gyamfi’s whispers, his usual misinformation to Elvis Afriyie’s ears.
“The NDC needs to take Ghanaians seriously and check their facts before addressing the nation. This is a serious matter about election results, creating insinuations, which create a lack of credibility on our whole election process,” he said.
John Boadu said the NPP’s 2016 majority of 169 seats in parliament was historic and the first of its kind in the Fourth republic.
“We are happy to announce that for the next parliament, it is obvious from the results declared across the constituencies that the NPP will still maintain a majority in parliament,” he said.
