President John Mahama has rubbished claims by his political opponents that the Electoral Commission (EC) is scheming to rig the upcoming presidential elections for him.
Some New Patriotic Party (NPP) executives, have on different platforms, claimed there’s a grand scheme to ensure President Mahama’s re-election. But the President at a rally in Funsi in the Wa East Constituency of the Upper West Region, rubbished those claims, describing them as absurd nonsense. “…If you notice, in the run up to the election, there has been a consistent criticism of the Electoral Commission.
Indeed they have said the most unspeakable things about the Chairman of the Electoral Commission and that is all preparing the minds of their supporters so when they lose they can blame the Electoral Commission as not being neutral.”
“Some of them have gone to the extent of saying the Electoral Commission is preparing to rig the elections for John Mahama. What absurd nonsense? Ghana’s Electoral system is one of the best in the world. Note my words, not in Africa, in the world because it has inherent instruments for guaranteeing its integrity.”
Stop harrasing EC Boss
This is not the first time the President has strongly defended the Electoral Commission and its Chairperson, Charlotte Osei. He did same in April this year [2016] when he called on political parties to stop harassing the Chairperson and rather cooperate with the Commission to purge the voters register.
“We have some political parties that have a tradition of haranguing and just harassing the commission and I think that must stop. Leave the commission in peace to do its work, it’s done it before, so let them do the work,” he charged.
His plea followed calls from pressure groups including the opposition NPP , for the Chairperson to implement reforms recommended by the Supreme Court.

MR PRESIDENT, YOU ARE JUST BEING HYPOCRITICAL, UNTRUTHFUL AND DISHONEST BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY MUCH AWARE ALL THE SCHEMES YOUR PARTY AND THE NDC ARE PUTTING IN PLACE TO STEAL THE PEOPLE'S VERDICT FOR YOU. YOUR SECURITY CAPOS HAVE ALSO BRIEFED YOU ABOUT YOUR WANNING CHANCES IN THIS ELECTIONS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY'VE ALSO INFORMED YOU ABOUT THE LEVEL OF VIGILLANCE THE ORDINARY CITIZENS ARE RESOLVED TO EXHIBIT TO PREVENT YOUR RIGGING MACHINE FROM CARRYING THROUGH YOUR DIABOLIC PLANS. YOU WILL DO YOURSELF SO GOOD BY SHUTTING YOUR MOUTH THAN THE INSULTING POSTURE YOU'VE ADOPTED RECENTLY. BYE BYE MR PREZ!
Akeka keka. The fight is being lost, so he must start biting!
Mr. President you had an EC superintended an election which was manipulated for you to win, and the whole world watching the electoral petition concluded how the SC misjudged the case in your favor, hence nothing in this country done by you is working. There is every pointer to the fact that the EC is again scheming to rig this election for you and so stop being hypocritical and come to reality that you are loosing this election in spite of all what the EC will do.
IN FACT GHANAIANS MUST VOTE PRES MAHAMA OUT, THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF PRESIDENT WE NEED,A LEADER FULL OF VULGAR AND FOUL WORDS?

An Electoral Commission which has lost all legal cases is rescued by the GOVT who sees natin wrong with them because he appointed the commissioner.At a point its only NDC who speaks for EC good or bad. But Mr President u have forgotten that ur own Hassan Ayaricough is still insulting the EC and u didnt mention it that he said " who the f,u,ck is the EC

I am just wandering what it would be like if it were Nana Akuffo Addo who had used or made this statement.....trust me hell will break lose!!! They will call him all kinds of names including arrogant, proud, disrespectful, etc. But this is coming from nobody than the PRESIDENT of Ghana John Mahama so we Ghanaians see no ev!l hear no ev!l. Such hypocrites of a homo sapiens living in a free nation like Ghana.
for a president to talk this shows how unc0uth he is... I'm sorry Mr President but you are a bussh man..
I agreee "Mr Mahama, you should have told your Vice President this n0n*sense because he was the first to bring this rigging exercise in public. I always don't understand how you talk. You don't think before opening your smelly mouth. It was that your "Atetekwaa" Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur who started this rigging n0n*sense. Kwasiato "
