On the day of the general elections on December 7, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Director of Elections and IT is advising party members to monitor the Electoral Commission (EC) and the New Patriotic Party to prevent the latter from influencing the results.
According to Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, party agents must insist that presiding officers place pink sheets at each polling station in accordance with C.I. 127 as part of plans to guarantee free, fair, and peaceful elections.
He was in Otoase, in the Eastern region’s Ayensuano constituency, to rally support for the NDC and its leader, John Mahama.
“On the day of elections, we’re going to work with the security agencies to ensure the elections are free, fair and peaceful because we know that once the election is free, fair and peaceful, the NDC is winning this election hands down, one touch.
“While we collaborate with the security agencies to ensure nobody rigs the elections, just as we did in Assin North, after 3 pm, start moving towards the polling station so that by 5 pm, you can monitor the sorting, counting and declaration.
“Make sure you take videos when the counting and sorting is underway, insist that the Presiding Officer paste a copy of the pink sheet at the polling station. If he refuses, tell him the law mandates him to do so but if he doesn’t, tell the police officer there that the Presiding Officer is violating the law to support the NPP in rigging,” he stated.
Supporters of the NDC were also reminded by the former minister of communications to increase their level of awareness.
“We have told the whole country to take videos at the polling stations, at the constituency collation centres, at the regional capital. Because C.I. 127 dictates this, we want to ask the Electoral Commission, have you distributed 40,600 and glued over to all the potential polling stations where elections will be conducted on December 7?
“If the EC has not done that, they must procure it because the pink sheets must be pasted and the pink sheets will be pasted,” he admonished.
Monday, November 11 marked the start of Dr. Boamah’s five-day community campaign in the Eastern region.
He is anticipated to interact with Chiefs, party members, and the general public in an effort to win over more votes for the NDC.
