The National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), George Opare Addo, has pledged to resist any attempts by opponents to steal ballot boxes during the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the NDC’s campaign launch in Tamale on Saturday, July 27, 2024, Opare Addo said the NDC would confront any individual who attempts to snatch ballot boxes on December 7.
He also expressed confidence in the party’s victory this year, citing their success in protecting ballot boxes during the Assin North by-election.
He continued to say that they would protect the ballot papers at the peril of their lives.
“My last message is to the Electoral Commission, Madam Jean Mensa, come December 7…we’re not asking anybody to cheat for NDC, we’re very confident we’re winning the elections. But woe unto any man born of a woman, who would dare go to any polling station and do the untoward, we will face them squarely.
“We were in the Assin North and we protected the ballot boxes, and we will protect the ballot boxes at the peril of our lives come December 7”.
He added that the youth are demanding the return of John Mahama to rescue the state.
“We’re looking for a Ghana that we all want. We’re looking for a Ghana where our dreams and aspirations can be met. I believe in the vision of John Mahama, when he promises he does it, Mahama is the key to the problems we are looking for,” he noted.
