Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has asserted confidently that the NDC would win if national elections were held today.
According to him, while the party is hopeful about winning, its primary goal is to ensure a transparent and disruption-free electoral process.
Speaking to JoyNews on Thursday, May 23, Johnson Asiedu Nketia said, “Our message has been accepted. The two parties have been tried. There are opinion polls that have been churned out, and everything points to a one-touch victory for NDC. But as has been said by some Russian president, those who vote decide nothing but those who count the vote decide everything.”
He underlined the significance of focusing on the voting process’s integrity and security in order for elections to go smoothly.
“So we are focusing on those who will be counting the vote and those who will be providing security to make sure that elections proceed uninterrupted. So that is where our focus is,” Johnson Asiedu Nketia added.
Nketia added that numerous respectable polls, both local and foreign, back the NDC’s expected victory in the coming general elections.
“That is the source of our confidence. We are winning 52% as of this month. If free and fair elections should be conducted, we should win 52%, and that is a one-touch win,” he said.
The NDC National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia also urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to resolve concerns over the missing Biometric Verification Readers.
“They have every capacity to respond to those demands without creating any problems. The fact that they are refusing to open up is a source of worry, and it will continue to be a source of worry. I think that, if they don’t have anything to hide, opening up would have resolved this matter a long time ago,” Johnson Asiedu Nketia concluded.
He stated that the EC should be honest and attentive to these concerns in order to fix unresolved issues and restore trust in the election process.
