Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has served notice that the umbrella family will not support the proposal for a change in the date for the 2024 elections from December to November.
The former president made the remarks while opening the Minority caucus meeting in Ho on Saturday (February 10).
“We [NDC] do not believe that this is being proposed in good faith,” he said.
He claimed that the governing NPP has sensed defeat and currently engaging in schemes to rig the elections.
He said the Electoral Commission has not demonstrated its preparedness to organise the elections on November 7, 2024.
“That lack of preparedness was clearly evident in the District Assembly elections held in December last year when elementary lapses and shocking logistical shortfalls painted a picture of a commission which was simply not able to undertake the task of managing elections, he said.
“All indications point to a resounding victory for the NDC in the 2024 elections and an unmistakable rejection of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government by the people of Ghana upon whom they have heaped very poor governance,” Mr Mahama added.
On continuous registration, he said, “Regarding the issue of continuous registration, as canvassed by the Electoral Commission, we demand that the process must necessarily include a system that enables all political parties and relevant stakeholders to possess the capacity to monitor that exercise in real time, to avoid fraud and exploitation to the undue advantage of any party”.
