No Person Can Rig Elections In Ghana; Ignore EC Naysayers - Atik Rebukes NDC
Atik Mohammed has asked Ghanaians to disregard attempts by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and their flagbearer to discredit the Electoral Commission (EC).
According to him, the notion that EC is planning to rig the 2020 elections is an illusory idea by the NDC to deceive Ghanaian electorates.
Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Atik Mohammed stressed that neither the Electoral Commission nor any individual can rig elections in Ghana in this new electoral dispensation.
He explained that the electoral system of the nation has been reinforced to make it extremely difficult for any person to steal ballots of the electorates.
To him, the NDC will never appreciate the work of the EC if they do not change their mindset about the Electoral Management body.
"With such a mindset, there's nothing they can do for you to appreciate because your mindset is that they were appointed to rig the elections, forgetting nobody can rig the elections. This is not 1992 or 1996 elections; this is 2020 elections. No individual or group, whether they work in the Electoral Commission or not, can rig the elections in favour of any candidate. It will never happen. When you lose, you lose. So, it is better for us to appreciate that at this point, nobody can rig any elections," he stated.
He advised the NDC to stop attacking the EC saying the Commission is not a "polling agent" and that the NDC should heed the advice of former EC Chairman, Dr. Afari Gyan, that "elections are won at the polling station".
