Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, National Secretary hopeful and Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has vehemently stated that his party will never take lightly anyone who will try to derail their political ambitions of assuming power in 2024, as the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) did to them in the country’s recent general elections.
According to him, the NPP as a political party, in their quest to maintain power in the 2020 general elections, killed nine (9) people in order to claim victory in some constituencies such as Tarkwa-Nsuaem, Techiman South, Sefwi, and Zabzugu, among others, which necessitated their victory in Ghana’s previous elections with the help of the Electoral Commission (EC).
All of this was said by the former Youth and Sports Minister and Deputy Minister for Local Government at the party’s deceased Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (KEEA) Women’s Organizer, Madam Mabel Quayson, on Saturday 1st October at the Elmina SSNIT Flat.
Mr. Peter Boamah Otukonnor, Madam Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman, and the country’s immediate past president, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, attended the funeral rites.
“NPP in 2020, despite all our efforts, killed nine (9) people before they could win the general elections by forcefully snatching from us the seats of some constituencies like Techiman South, Tarkwa-Nsuaem, Sefwi, and Zabzuggu,” he said.
“The EC is hereby advised that its dubious plot against the NDC, which resulted in our defeat in the 2020 elections, should never be repeated. In fact, anyone who thinks such heinous thievery will befall us again in 2024 should bid a nice farewell before stepping out of the house “He told Accra-based Rainbow Radio reporter Eric Annan vehemently.
He cautioned the NDC as a party not to be caught in the web of complacency at this critical stage with swollen-headedness in assuming a hands-down victory over the NPP prior to the 2024 general elections, but instead to put in steadying effort to ensure the party is finally re-elected to power before any merry making or whatever can proceed.
Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah concluded by stating that the ultimate gift the NDC as a party can give to console the departed soul of their beloved Women’s Organizer (Mabel Quayson) is to win the 2024 elections, which she always desired before her painful demise.
