Ghanaians would hold the founder of the National Democratic Congress, (NDC), Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings and their Presidential candidate, Ex-President John Dramani Mahama accountable with regard to any election related violence, according to Patriots for Peace and Development (PPD).
According to a statement issued by PPD and signed by Richard Danso, the Convener of the group, the continuous support and the use of hooligans in their series of demonstrations points to the fact that they are really preparing to cause mayhem during the election, should it not go their way.
“We are by this statement tasking the two respected leaders in the NDC to make sure the country does not experience any kind of trouble. They should have it at the back of their minds that they lost with over 1million votes. It would only take hard work and determination on their part to reverse this,” the statement said.
“We humbly advise that they should suspend supporting these hooligans and rather get prepared for the 2020 general elections. We must respect institutions and that is what we must do. If demonstrations could change the stance of the EC, it could have happened when Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA) went on a series of demonstrations in 2016 trying to change the stand of the Electoral Commission."
“We respectfully ask them to focus on their manifesto and how it would resonate with the masses. Unless they know that they are already defeated."
"We would hold them responsible should anything happen before during and after the 2020 general elections. You can’t be a founder of a monster, you need to call your party members to order, although it is their civic right,” the statement said.
"We are also calling on the security apparatus not to sleep on their duty but know their civic responsibility to ensure peace and tranquility”.
According to PPD, the NDC is hiding behind smaller parties to destabilize the country because they do not exist.
The NDC should know that interfering with EC’s constitutional mandate is illegal, PPD stressed.

Ppd,your released show clearly where you are coming from. ***barred word*** ***barred word***
Leave the "Household Word" .NPP, NDC. These two "Limited Liabilities" do not put themselves in power. U put them there. So why are u fighting over your ownself? A Nation where there no Executive Power to remove a Government, always looking for the Military. And after the Military had done it they turn and insult them. Now wake up and make your own Change if u think your Govt.is wrong. Always our Govts. are wrong. Not even a single era that Ghanaians have praised a Govt. They sit down doing nothing and blame their Govts.
Ghanaians have lost their sence of ingenuity. It seems as though they fanning them in spirit by an slien entity, praying that this country must lost its dignity. Even when something is obviously true, they trample over it. A Constitution that makes a Head of State to get away with evething he might have done wrong. Voters Register is not going to save anybody but those who dying hard to get into undefined "Power" to enjoy the sweat of the farmers. This Condtitution is not the constitution drawn for Gold Cosst/Ghana Transition. This one is Kwame Nkrumah's own Constitution. Unless u got and get the Constitution drawn by the Colonial Govt. I tell u or I warn u , nothing can save u these Ghanaians who have turned "Thiefs" to loot this Nation with other foreigners.
NPP AND ITS ***barred word*** SUPORTERS CAN SUPORT EC TO DO THE PLANNED THING BUT IF YHERE IS ANY CONFUSION THEY WILL BE HELP RESPONSIBLE.
THERE WERE SOME FRAUD IN 2012 ELECTION WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE THE COMBINATION OF BAD OVER BLOATED REGISTER AND FAULTY VERIFICATION SYSTEM. THE ELECTION WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HELD FOR ONE DAY IN 10 HOURS WAS HELD OVER 10 HOURS IN TWO DAYS IN MANY PLACES OF VOLTA AND NORTHERN REGIONS. THIS HAPPENED ON THE CLAIM OF FAULTY AND UNRELIABLE MACHINES. SO THE BIOMETRIC VERIFICATOPN WAS IGNORED. IN MANY PLACES NOBODY WAS ALLOWED TO CHALLENGE IN THE MANUAL VERIFICATION. AN ATTEMPT TO CHALLENGE IN SOME PLACES LED TO THE ATTACKS AND BEATINGS OF THE CHALLENGERS. SOME HAD TO RUN FOR THEIR LIVES. BROTHER OF BBC JOURNALIST ELIZABETH OHENE, DR OHENE, A WELL KNOWN PSYCHIATRIST AND A NATIVE OF VOLTA REGION SUFFERED A SEVERE BEATINGS BY NDC THAT LED TO THE INJURY OF HIS EYE. ALL BECAUSE HE ATTEMPTED TO BRING SANITY IN THE VOTING IN HIS OWN PLACE IN THE REGION. THE CHALLENGE OF 2012 ELECTION AT THE SUPREME COURT INTRODUCED SOME MEASURES WHICH REDUCED THE FRAUD THAT TOOK NDC BY SURPRISE TO LOOSE THE ELECTIONS. THE LOST OF 2016 ELECTIONS BY NDC DOES NOT STILL MAKE THE REGISTER AND THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM ALL CREDIBLE. LIKE ARMED ROBERS WHO ALWAYS LOOK FOR LACUNA TO OUTWIT THE POLICE, NDC STILL HOPE TO RELY ON THE LOOPHOLES IN THE CURRENT ELECTORAL SYSTEM TO TRY ANOTHER CHANCE OF DUBIOUS DEEDS. THOUGH THIS MAY STILL NOT WORK FOR THEM, THE EC DOES NOT HAVE TO LEAVE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED BUT TO KEEP THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM SACROSANCT. THIS IS THE BASIS FOR THE UNREASONABLE FEAR OF NDC, HENCE THEIR PERSISTENT PROTEST AGAINST THE NEW REGISTER.
Leave them, let them try anything, they should remember what they did to let my vote count demonstrators
Rubbish.
This group are bunch of idiotic people
