The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has said that the NDC would emerge victorious if the general elections were held today.
According to him, while the party is optimistic about winning, its primary focus is on ensuring a transparent electoral process without disruptions.
“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 that, those who vote decide nothing but those who count the vote decide everything.
“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,” he said on JoyNews.
Mr Asiedu Nketia added that multiple credible polls support the NDC’s projected victory.
“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.”
The NDC National Chairman also called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to address concerns regarding the missing Biometric Verification Readers (BVRs).
“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,” Mr Nketia added.
