Two pro-National Democratic Congress (NDC) groups have reportedly filed a petition with the Inspector General of Police regarding claims of organized NDC supporters planning to cause chaos at the upcoming presidential and parliamentary primaries.
The groups, Friends of Atta Mills and Prof Mills Movement, also claim to have uncovered a plot by anonymous individuals within the party to deliberately destroy the votes of former President Mahama by tampering with ballots.
Gabriel Agah and Issah Mohammed, both National and Deputy Coordinators of the groups, signed the petition and called on the police to deal with any troublemakers. They cautioned NDC supporters to remain vigilant in protecting their ballots during the upcoming primaries.
Mr Agah explained the groups' decision to involve both the police and national executives of the party, describing it as a maneuver to prevent machinations.
According to him, some individuals plan to confuse certain constituencies because they believe their names will not appear on the voters' register, even though they are not delegates.
“If we don't petition police, it would bring confusion at the primaries,” Mr Agah stated.
“Some people have come up with an idea of trying to spoil some JDM (John Dramani Mahama) ballots on that day when they are sorting the ballots. They have planned to dent some of the ballots of JDM with ink.”
