NPP planning to rig 2020 polls – Elvis Afriyie Ankrah

The Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Elvis Afriyie Ankrah has accused the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) of orchestrating plans to rig the 2020 polls and later turning round to blame it on them.

According to him, information the party has gathered indicates that the plot is to be executed in the Ashanti, Volta, Northern, Upper East, and Upper West Regions.

In a statement, Afriyie Ankrah said “NPP has hired people whose arrest they will stage in some hotels in the regions mentioned above. The so-called culprits will then confess to the police that they were hired by some NDC executives.”

The party disclosed that it uncovered the ploy through its intelligence gathering and preparedness for the 2020 polls.

“The National Democratic Congress has uncovered a sinister agenda by the New Patriotic Party to stuff ballot boxes with thumb printed ballot papers in the Ashanti, Volta, Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions and blame it on the NDC”.
