John Dramani Mahama’s Campaign Manager, Joshua Alabi, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of prioritising electoral manipulation over presenting substantive policies and programmes to Ghanaians during the December 7 general elections.
In an interview with TV3 Ghana, Alabi criticised the NPP for allegedly focusing on strategies to influence the election outcome unfairly, a stark contrast, he said, to the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) approach of engaging directly with voters.
He highlighted the strong grassroots support the NDC garnered during the campaign, attributing it to the party’s clear messaging and visibility.
According to him, the NDC’s efforts resonated with the electorate, who appreciated the party’s commitment to addressing their concerns and ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.
Alabi emphasized that the NDC’s strategy of prioritizing engagement over manipulation ultimately strengthened its connection with voters and bolstered its appeal across the country.
“Your performance will give you the mark that you require and to an extent, I must say that the NDC campaigned very well. We had good campaign messages and our presence was felt everywhere but the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was working on how to cheat when we were working.
“All over, people would call us and say, we shall vote for you but protect the votes and they people begged us and we assured them that we will protect the ballots.”
