Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Chairman Wontumi, has hit back at the NDC over claims that the governing political party intends to rig the 2024 elections.

To Wontumi, the NDC should rather focus their energies on campaigning and selling its message to the people and stop the lacklustre campaign.

He noted that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who is the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has toured almost all the constituencies in the country, but John Dramani Mahama, with 18 days to the elections, has toured only 65.

Being aware of his impending defeat, the NDC, just like they have always done, wants to shift the blame for their impending defeat before they are announced as losers of the 2024 elections. "The NDC per my observation in Ashanti region are not campaigning vigorously but instead, are sitting in the comfort of their homes and offices developing strategies to blame the NPP for election rigging," he said.
