The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) is facing criticism for its inability to remain neutral and nonpartisanship in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
The Confederation of Governance Assessment Institute (COGAI) has observed that the EC’s actions suggest a bias towards the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to COGAI, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, is poised to win the election by a landslide.
This prediction is based on the organization’s assessment of the current political landscape in Ghana.
Ghanaians have expressed their views on the matter, with many believing that the EC’s bias towards the NPP is a threat to the country’s democracy.
The EC’s alleged favoritism has raised concerns pointing to potential political instability in the event of an NPP loss.
President Akufo-Addo’s recent statement that he will not hand over power to the NPP has further fueled speculation about the EC’s bias.
Many are wondering what will happen if the President’s party loses the election, and whether Ghana will witness a peaceful transfer of power.
The EC has a responsibility to ensure that the upcoming election is free, fair, and transparent. Anything less could undermine the legitimacy of the election and threaten the stability of the country.
The upcoming Ghanaian election is taking a worrying turn, with allegations of the Electoral Commission (EC) being compromised and poised to rig the election in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate. This is particularly concerning, given that the NPP’s message doesn’t seem to be resonating with voters, and desperation appears to be setting in.
The implications of such actions are far-reaching and could have severe consequences for the country’s security. If the EC is indeed “poisoned” and attempts to manipulate the election results, it could lead to widespread unrest, protests, and violence. This, in turn, could compromise the country’s stability and security.
Furthermore, the government’s alleged heinous corruption is a significant factor contributing to the NPP’s dwindling popularity. Ghanaians are increasingly disillusioned with the current administration, and it is likely that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will win both the presidential and parliamentary elections.
In this context, it is essential for the EC to maintain its neutrality and ensure a free and fair election. Any attempts to rig the election or compromise the voting process could have disastrous consequences for Ghana’s democracy and stability.
The international community is watching closely, and it’s crucial that Ghana demonstrates its commitment to democratic principles and the rule of law hence the need for the EC to prioritize transparency, accountability, and fairness in the upcoming election to prevent any potential instability or violence.
