Franklin Cudjoe slams EC, NPP govt for ‘attempts to rig elections’

President of leading civil society organisation, Imani, has described as shameful, reported attempts to sack the IGP for purportedly refusing to aid the EC and the NPP government to rig the elections.

In a Facebook post, he said with the connivance of the EC, “the government is forcing election security services to provide service for the recollation of some nine constituencies, elements of the government believe they won.
“Thankfully, the Electoral security services have flatly denied the EC its request to help rig the clear mandate that the NDC has been given”.

He said, he had very reliable intelligence that the current IGP was being harassed and threatened with removal from office by the Akufo-Addo administration before they leave office.

“His crime? For standing up for peaceful and transparent elections. For denying the government the opportunity to put in motion election rigging machinery, it had long planned for previous by-elections and the one they lost”.

He said any attempts to remove the IGP would be fiercely.

“It is shameful that elements of this government are misbehaving and putting our democracy in great danger.

“They are mistaken and should they dare remove the IGP and install their puppets to grant the rigging-minded and pliant EC to overturn the will of the people in the 9 constituencies, they will be responsible for what happens to them. I sincerely hope that President- elect John Dramani Mahama and the NDC and all civilised Ghanaians will rise to the occasion and deal with these miscreants,” he stated.
