The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), according to Salam Mustapha, the New Patriotic Party’s national youth organiser, is preparing to sabotage the impending restricted voter registration drive.
Mustapha urged the Ghana Police Service to watch out for similar efforts and deal with the perpetrators appropriately during a live conversation on his social media sites.
“The NDC wants to discredit the Electoral Commission, therefore they plan to act badly when the process gets underway. To target district officials and other locations where the registration would be taking place, they are enlisting thugs, robbers, and criminals from all around the nation.
“I want to urge the Ghana Police Service to be on the lookout for such clandestine and dastardly behaviour from the NDC and it should not be tolerated. We cannot allow dangerous people to destroy our democracy,” Mustapha said.
Mustapha also urged Ghanaians to retain the NPP in power to ensure continuity in the development, especially towards the party’s job creation agenda. He insisted that the NPP remains the best choice for the country.
“In terms of job creation, the NPP has created more jobs than any other government we have seen. The NDC in 2020 came with a manifesto that the aim was to create one million jobs in four years.
“In essence, they are going to create 250,000 every year. That is a very lazy approach and a drop in the ocean. The NPP has so far created far in excess of two million jobs and these figures are verifiable,” Mustapha said.
The limited voter registration exercise is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 12. It is being conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC) to update the voters’ register ahead of the 2024 general elections.
