NDC sending Thugs to Ashanti Region to validate false election rigging claims – Ahiagbah

The director of communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has pointed out that intelligence available to the NPP indicates that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is sending tugs to the Ashanti Region to validate their recent claims that the NPP plays to rig the 2024 election.

Speaking on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Thursday, 21 November 2024, Richard Ahiagbah emphasised that the NDC is sending about 8 individuals who have in their possession fake ballot papers they intend to display and capture in videos in an attend to give some credibility to their false election rigging claims put out by their party’s national communications officer, Sammy Gyamfi.

“The NDC’s press conference was an effort to express their frustration with their inability and the challenges they faced in trying to execute their plot in the Ashanti Region to create mayhem. They found out that the system was up to speed, and they found that they were being impeded everywhere they turned to try to put their evil thoughts in place and that is the basis for that press conference,” Richard Ahiagbah said.

“As you and I speak now, just last night, the NDC put together a team of eight people, who have set off to the Ashanti Region in some pick with weapons including printed ballot papers, fake ones, to reinforce the false allegations they made at their press conference on Tuesday. The idea is to try to have Ghanaians begin to feel the severity of what they put out,” the NPP director of communications added.

In his submission, Richard Ahiagbah further indicated that the information available to his office suggests that the plan of the NDC to get these persons arrested and arrange media coverage and to blast the same on social media in a bid to reinforce their false narrative. To this end, Mr Ahiagbah noted that whatever the NDC put out at their press conference should be taken with a pinch of salt.

The security agencies according to Mr Ahiagbah are up to speed and are ready to deal with all these evil plots that are likely to be rolled out by the NDC in the last 15 days before the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
