To Check All Ballot Serial Numbers To Secure
Victory
Boakye Agyarko, NPP Campaign
Manager, this afternoon urged all party polling agents in the few
places which voted today to check the serial numbers of every
ballot paper. This will ensure the authenticity of the cast ballots
that were kept overnight after voting was suspended because of
technical issues with biometric verification. The NPP had insisted
on the ballots from yesterday to be "counted, recorded and sealed."
However, this did not happen in most cases.
According to the NPP Campaign Manager, the party, which has
picked up significant seats across the country, including
increasing its seats in NDC stronghold, the Northern Region, by at
least 3-fold, is steadily on course to win the presidential
contest.
"With NDC fast exhausting its votes in its strongholds and
most of the figures from our strongholds yet to be declared, we
have every reason to stay confident about our victory. What is left
is for our agents to stay vigilant, scrutinise every ballot to secure
victory."
Boakye Agyarko urged NPP
polling agents at the 169 polling stations, where voting took place
today, to continue to exercise caution and to remain at the height
of vigilance until the last ballot box is sealed and the last vote
counted, taking note of the serial numbers on ballot box
seals.
"We also demand transparency and impartiality from the
Electoral Commission. Any meeting held by the Electoral Commission
must be convened in the presence of all parties, including the NPP.
We cannot be sure of a free, fair, credible and legitimate election
if actions are taken that appear to suggest figures are being
tampered with. We have been tracking our figures right from the
polling station and are very confident of our victory," he
said.
Boakye Agyarko thanked voters
for their patience and enthusiasm for the free and fair process. He
assured them that the NPP would be victorious once all the votes
were counted, and that no one would be disenfranchised, reiterating
his call to the security services to discharge their duties with
excellence so that all voters can express their will today in a
credible and legitimate vote.
