The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has bizarrely raised queries concerning who should represent political parties at the Inter Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) of the Electoral Commission (EC).
They are questioning why the New Patriotic Party (NPP) should nominate Joe Anokye, who is the National Communications Authority (NCA) boss, as one of its representatives for IPAC meetings.
According to NDC National Chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, it is strange and unacceptable for the NPP to select Mr. Anokye to the IPAC because he is in charge of a telecoms regulatory body.
During a handover ceremony at a symposium at the Koforidua Technical University branch of Tertiary Institutions Network of the NDC (TEIN), which is the student wing of the party, the NDC chairman said “only a few days ago, there was an Inter-Party Advisory Committee meeting at the EC headquarters. When the NPP came and they were introducing their representative, surprisingly, lo and behold, they introduced Joe Anokye, the Director-General of National Communication Authority, as the representative of the NPP at the IPAC meeting.”
Because of the development, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo said “strange things are happening in this country.”
“The IPAC meeting was going to discuss a new procurement for registration and collation of results. And the EC said that it was going to use the Telcos as the backbone on which its system would ride. And so if you are going to use the telcos, I am talking about MTN, Glo and Vodofone and others as the backbone to run your system, then the man who is in charge of regulating the Telcos is now representing the NPP at IPAC, how? So the NDC has raised the red flags and we say that this is unacceptable,” he pointed out.
Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo said that the NDC was wide awake and was monitoring and analysing all electoral processes to be deployed for the 2020 election to ensure that it is free, fair and transparent.
He said the NDC was hopeful of winning the 2020 elections but charged members of the party, particularly the students, to be part of what he claimed to be a “Rescue Mission Operation.”
“The 2020 campaign is a rescue mission; I want it to engrain in your mind and everywhere that to rescue is not an easy task, so we are going for a rescue mission,” he said, adding “rescue Ghana from tyrannical democratic rulers; they are masquerading as democrats but they are tyrannical and dictators. We are rescuing this country from dishonest people, who promised that they would build a lean government because the NDC had too many ministers but they came to give us 120 ministers. We need to rescue this country from family and friends syndrome.”

Is it means the clergymen are now part of the govt and receiving booties that is why they don't make noise or are not making noise as it was previously done? What a shame and why can't they disassociate themselves from the EC.
Do these ndc with mo vision ,n dream, no pan, no policy, n9 essay think they are important that even without any policy they will win? I just can't get them ! their foo000*00lishness is beyond anything called foo00*lish. These people went to opposition just about 3 years ago and can't campaign on anything that they did t help this nation but thin they can win with loud noise and insults how ***barred word*** they look ! listen, the Afrobarometer you are relying on has shown your incompetence and rating in the country! still 22% and they are happy forgetting they just left power so it's indictment to them that the people still don't like them, now in 2016 npp had 10% ahead 9f the ndc and now npp are ahead with 12% and ndc are happy they will win ,gyim*ie,gyim*ie nkoaa. If you have 22% with the npp 34 % what shows you've won? even with the pnc and cpp 1% each doesn't give you 25% to. come near the npp and their maths is also not working they behave like kids playing ! listen, npp is a serious politucal 0arty and are now on the round table discussing about their shortfalls and how to improve and their research team are on the ground finding what's going on and ndc are happy with their 22% that they are winning ook at their logic. Ndc you just left office ooooo ton just 3 years ago so find something to tell the people because npp can improve their numbers and I'm not sure if this survey report is genuine since mahama is wasting obey on everything but this didn't go down well fir him because he couldn't beat the npp he is still lacking behind with 12% double digits.
Peacefm what do you mean by bizarre? Hmm....timep will tell.
So what is the chairman afraid of? Cowards die many times before their death. We cannot forget so soon how people created, looted & shared resources meant for the whole country. Never again would we loose guard. Long Live Ghana.
THE TELCOS CAN'T CHANGED THE PINK SHEETS WHICH BAWUMILIAR AND OTHERS WERE NOT THERE TO SIGN. AS FOR US THE NDC WE WILL SIGN THE PINK SHEETS AND WILL NOT GO TO SLEEP. WE WILL MONITOR THE ELECTIONS PROPERLY TILL THE LAST PINK SHEET IS SUBMITED CORRECTLY. THIS TIME AROUND THERE CAN BE NO TURNING AND TWISTING OF FIGURES AS IT HAPPENED IN 2016. YOU LIE BAD!
