The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has refuted claims that they distributed small devices to their agents to interfere with voting during Ghana’s December 7 general election.
Speculation arose that the NDC was using such devices to track voter locations and collate results at polling stations.
However, former Ashanti Regional Minister under the NDC, Hon. Alexander John Ackon, has swiftly dismissed these allegations.
Speaking on Lawson TV/Radio Ghana Se Sen Morning Show, Hon. John Ackon confirmed that the NDC did not import any devices from Russia, as had been suggested.
Hon. John Ackon explained that the NDC employed a strategic approach by focusing on monitoring the Electoral Commission’s processes and ensuring vigilance at polling stations.
“The party’s agents were trained rigorously to monitor results and ensure accuracy before they were sent to Regional Coalition centers,” he said
He attributed the NDC’s significant margin of victory to the government’s poor economic performance, highlighting the struggles of the business community.
Hon. John Ackon emphasized that the government’s handling of rising fuel prices and the economic challenges faced by ordinary Ghanaians contributed to the public’s decision to vote in favor of change.
The NDC also applauded the youth for their active participation in the election, stressing that Ghanaians have clearly spoken and presented the party with a significant mandate and challenge moving forward.
