The New Patriotic Party (NPP) and it’s National Chairman, Freddie Blay has dismissed claims by the NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama that government is intimidating some ethnic groups from registering to vote in the upcoming 2020 December polls.
In a press engagement on Tuesday, August 4, in Accra, Freddie Blay stated that the tactics by the NDC and its flagbearer can best be described as “inferior communist tactics”.
The national party chairman described as baseless accusations by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that government and the president are supervising an exercise to prevent ‘Voltarians’ and other non-Akans from participating in the ongoing registration exercise.
Mr. Blay in a Founders’ Day press conference by his party said, “Our brothers and sisters of the NDC are desperately trying to undermine the simple civil and peaceful exercise of voter registration into one of ethnocentrism and through outright fabrications and needless exaggerations.”
He urged Ghanaians to “reject the former President John Mahama’s ‘hate for vote’ campaign and vote for a party that cares about the welfare of the people”.
Mr. Blay added that voltarians must not to be used by the opposition in their quest to champion what he describes as “dangerous ethnocentric agenda”.
