The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has urged party supporters to visit Electoral Commission (EC) offices across the nation and demonstrate on September 17.
This comes after the party announced that it would stage a nationwide demonstration against the EC on Tuesday, September 17, over concerns about discrepancies in the voter register. The NDC’s National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, made this announcement during a press briefing after filing the party’s flagbearer, John Mahama, nomination forms for the upcoming general elections in 2024.
Mr. Mahama spoke to supporters at Sampa in the Jaman North District of the Bono Region. Mr. Mahama urged them to exert pressure on the EC officials to ensure free and fair elections in 2024.
“If we desire for free, fair, and peaceful elections, then the EC must up their game and do things right. So on the 17th of this month [September], NDC is going to demonstrate in every town that has an EC office. Our chairman [Johnson Asiedu Nketiah] has announced it.”
“NDC [supporters], you wear your t-shirts, and you go and demonstrate at the EC office so that we can put pressure on them to do their job and do what they have to do to ensure a peaceful and transparent election,” Mr. Mahama stated.
