The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has debunked claims by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) that it was conniving with the Electoral Commission (EC) to rig the upcoming elections using the new voters’ register.
The NPP has implored the public to disregard the allegations, adding that, the work done by the Akufo-Addo government is enough to win the endorsement of Ghanaians.
The national campaign manager of the NPP, Mr Peter Mac Manu speaking at a press conference in Accra on Thursday [May 14, 2020] said the NDC is spreading falsehoods out of fear of losing the impending elections.
“The plan of the NDC is nothing more than to fabricate grounds for chaos, disunity and fear. They are doing this because they do not have a good candidate and a good story to tell voters in December”.
Mr Mac Manu's reaction at the press conference was in response to an earlier press conference organised by the NDC and addressed by its National Chairman, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, where the party accused the NPP, EC and NIA of the plot.
Mac Manu questioned the rationale behind the stiff opposition against the compilation of a new voters’ register.

“So what is it about the 2012 voters register that the NDC is so determined to protect it from being replaced? What is in that 2012 register that the NDC is threatening civil war if it is changed for a better one?
Why is the NDC placing its entire electoral fortunes on that controversial register which was compiled under their term in office?” he quizzed.
He added that "we support the compilation of a new register but will leave that decision for the EC to make. However, with or without a new register, the New Patriotic Party is prepared to campaign and win the endorsement of the overwhelming majority of the Ghanaian people once again in the next polls, based purely on what we are delivering to protect and improve the lives of the people in every corner of the country. May God bless our homeland Ghana and make her great and strong."
