Election 2024: Prepare for total ‘war’ — NDC sends strong warning to EC

Dr. Rashid Tanko Computer, the Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has asked the Electoral Commission (EC) to prepare for “showdown” in the upcoming polls.

According to Dr. Computer, if the 2020 elections is the EC’s yardstick for a credible election, then the Commission should prepare to meet the NDC come December.

His comments come on the back a call by the Commission Chair, Jean Adukwei Mensa, urging political parties across the divide to accept the results of the upcoming polls since the EC is committed to organising a credible exercise.

But the NDC Deputy Director of Elections thinks the only major election conducted by the Jean Mensa-led administration in 2020 was nothing to write home about, warning that if that’s the Commission’s yardstick, then they should rewrite their scripts.

Speaking with Alfred Ocansey on Ghana Tonight Wednesday, July 17, 2024, Dr. Computer stated that “if Jean Mensa’s understanding of a free and fair election is how they conducted the 2020 elections, then they should prepare for a showdown.”
