The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has stated that his party will take matters into its own hands to ensure that all avenues for rigging in the upcoming 2024 general election are blocked.
Speaking at a campaign event in the Northern Region on Friday, November 2, 2024, former President Mahama alleged that excess ballot papers printed for the 2020 polls were given to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and some of these papers found their way to polling stations during the election.
He claimed that the NDC caught several NPP agents with these excess ballot papers, which were supposed to have been destroyed by the printing house.
When the issue was reported to the Ghana Police Service, nothing happened to the perpetrators or those behind the scheme. "This election, we are going to make sure that it is transparent and safe.
