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.

You are the president who is also a blokhead, and instead of you to solve problems facing us, you are insulting those who are pointing out how ussselss and stuuuuupid you are. Mahama is the most eddddiotic person to lead ghana and we have to get rid of him this year. Vote for change and never look back!
Unpresidential is an understatement. How can Ghana be disgraced this way? He's simply uninspiring and his utterances are unsavory. God please spare us this ordeal and give us a gentleman for a president.
I bet JDM will loose the elections if it is organised freely and fairly. By the way, most Ghanaians don't trust Charlotte
Nkwacea-keka. Akoa wei de3 me mp3 n'as3m koraa. President a w'agyimi sei. If he wins again Ghanaians would be the most dum-best an-imals on this planet.
Is this coming from a president? A president indeed! No wonder they pay people to insults everyone in the country. When they are punished he goes to free them. WAIT! CHANGE IS COMING!
They are a bunch of use less people who don't know how to govern a country apart from creating, ***barred word*** and sharing.
That EC boss position should have been give to Dr. Akwetey of IDEG and not 'fawoto b3gye' Charlotte. I wonder if any body apart from NDC respects that u' seless institution. Nkwa sea sem.
A president talking like this. Very unpresidential.
There he gies again. A president who uses insuting words at the least chance. A statesman indeed!Rigging brought you into power. Now we are wild awake checking every move by the EC. This is your worry. Now you cant steal anymore.
GHANAIANS ARE ALERT BECAUSE THE NDC HAS SPECIALISED IN RIGGING ELECTIONS SINCE ITS INCEPTION. AFTER WINNING ONE ELECTION, THEY START SCHEMING HOW TO WIN THE NEXT ONE. THEY CANNOT GOVERN THE NATION WELL BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS PLANNING TO RIG ELECTIONS. SO MR. PREZ STOP INSULTING GHANAIANS.
