The communications director for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has revealed that the NPP has obtained intelligence indicating that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is dispatching individuals to the Ashanti Region.
This action appears to be an effort to substantiate the NDC’s recent allegations that the NPP intends to manipulate the outcome of the December 2024 election.
During an appearance on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Thursday, 21 November 2024, Ahiagbah stated that the NDC is sending approximately eight individuals equipped with counterfeit ballot papers.
Their objective is to showcase these papers and record the event on video, thereby attempting to bolster the unfounded claims of electoral fraud propagated by their national communications officer, Sammy Gyamfi.
The NDC’s press conference was an effort to express their frustration with their inability and the challenges they faced in trying to execute their plot in the Ashanti Region to create mayhem.
They found out that the system was up to speed, and they found that they were being impeded everywhere they turned to try to put their evil thoughts in place, and that is the basis for that press conference.
As you and I speak now, just last night, the NDC put together a team of eight people, who have set off to the Ashanti Region in some pick-ups with weapons [and] printed ballot papers, fake ones, to reinforce the false allegations they made at their press conference on Tuesday.
The idea is to try to have Ghanaians begin to feel the severity of what they put out.
In an interview with Asaase News, Ahiagbah indicated that the information at his disposal implies that the NDC intends to orchestrate the arrest of eight individuals, subsequently arranging for media coverage that could be utilized to disseminate content on social media, thereby attempting to bolster a misleading narrative.
Ahiagbah cautioned that any statements made by the NDC during their press conferences should be approached with skepticism. Nevertheless, he affirmed that the security agencies are well-prepared and equipped to address any schemes that the NDC may attempt to implement in the final 15 days leading up to the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
