The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says despite the green light given to the Electoral Commission to compile a new register, the governing New Patriotic Party will still lose the upcoming general elections.

The NDC believes that the "hugely criticized" new voters’ register is a ploy by the Akufo-Addo government to manipulate the electoral process. The reason for which, they have strongly opposed its compilation.

The Flagbearer of the party, John Dramani Mahama, addressing a media briefing on Thursday night said the NDC is ready for the upcoming elections, and no "machinations" by the Akufo-Addo government can save it from defeat.

"No politically engineered register can save this failed government from the inevitable defeat that awaits them in the next 165 days."

"With or without a new voters register, the NDC shall win this election by the grace of God" he added.

Mahama however implored Ghanaians to go out in their numbers and participate in the voters' registration exercise, to help the NDC overthrow the Akufo-Addo government.

"To achieve the objective of taking part in the decision over who governs us, we must be willing to make the necessary sacrifices in the present circumstances.

"I, therefore, urge all Ghanaians of voting age to channel the disappointment at the effort to exclude them from the electoral process into an opportunity to have their voices heard and turn up to register in their teeming numbers when the process begins next week Tuesday," the former president said.
