General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has blasted the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama for ‘prematurely’ calling on the international community to keenly monitor the electoral process in Ghana.
Former President and Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama called on the international community to keenly follow with interest matters leading to the December General Elections.
His call was in response to the many anomalies recorded in the new voter register compiled by the Electoral Commission (EC).
Responding to the call of the former president, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) said that the international community also has problems with their own elections and so calling on them will not make a difference since they had their own issues to deal with.
Speaking on Okay FM monitored by My News Ghana said that the talk of bringing the international community into our elections at this level is a “foolish talk” which should not be entertained.
“Even when it comes to things that are normal as regards the Electoral Commission’s activities, Asiedu Nketia and his people are saying we should go and bring Angela Merkel and Tony Blair. These same international communities are having issues to deal with back home. Americans fight over their elections all the time. Recently, Trump said Republicans should vote double. So who are they going to bring? It is a foolish talk; don’t worry your head over it,” he said.
