Speaking to party supporters in Ablekuma West yesterday, Nana Akufo Addo said, if there are any group of persons whose only hope of victory in the December 7 elections hinges on rigging, then it is the President of the Republic, John Mahama, and his Vice President, Kwesi Amissah Arthur.
According to Akufo-Addo, “what I know is that President Mahama and his Vice President own the copyright to the rigging phenomenon in Ghana. We in the NPP believe in multiparty democracy. If Amissah Arthur has seen defeat looming, I appeal to him not to say things that will anger Ghanaians. We beg of him.”
Restating the position of Nana Addo, Madam Ursula Owusu, the MP for the constituency and candidate for the NPP in the upcoming parliamentary election said, Nana Addo was spot on with his claims because the records are there for all to see.
According to her, the NDC in 2008 and 2012 rigged the elections in their favour. She said, if indeed the NPP are good at rigging elections, the NDC as a party would have never had the opportunity to rule this country.
Meanwhile, Captain Joshua Akamba (rtd), Deputy Organizer of the ruling government refuted the claims stating that, the NDC has a clean record when it comes free, fair and transparent polls.
