NDC’s demo was bogus; it was just to test popularity – Former MP [Audio]

-

Former Manhyia North Member of Parliament(MP), Collins Amankwa has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over its demonstration against the Electoral Commission(EC).

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) member has described the demonstration as bogus and unwarranted.

In his view, it was just a means for the NDC to test its popularity in the country ahead of the December 7 election.

“From where I sit, the NDC’s enough is enough was extremely bogus. They were trying to test their popularity because it was NDC delegates and fun clubs that came out for the march.

“The NDC was expecting non-partisan Ghanaians to join them but they didn’t get those numbers,” he stated.

The NDC on Tuesday held a nationwide protest, insisting on an audit of the provisional voter’s register for the 2024 election despite the EC’s decline.

The exercise was on the back of widespread allegation of irregularities that could jeopardise the fairness of the election.

However, Mr Amankwa on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen programme Wednesday, stressed that, it was unnecessary, especially when the NDC has failed to comply with the EC’s request for evidence.

“It seems the NDC has been overtaken by events because when they first raised these issues, the EC assured it will be corrected through the exhibition exercise.

Now, the EC is asking for evidence to help resolve outstanding issues but you have refused. Ghana is not a banana republic and it will not collapse because the demands of some people are not being met,” he cautioned.
