NDC Vice Presidential candidate Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has urged security personnel, media practitioners, and other stakeholders participating in Monday’s special voting exercise to consider casting their votes in favour of the NDC.
Her remarks were made during a press engagement on Sunday, 1 December, in Cape Coast, following a meeting with regional Muslim leaders.
Professor Opoku-Agyemang emphasised the importance of balanced and accurate media coverage of the voting process, calling on the media to uphold fairness in their reporting.
She also extended an appeal to the Electoral Commission (EC), urging the institution to ensure impartiality and transparency throughout the special voting exercise, which is scheduled to commence on 2 December.
Addressing members of the security services, she encouraged them to reflect on the current economic challenges faced by Ghanaians when making their voting decisions.
According to her, these prevailing hardships should serve as a guiding factor in their choice at the ballot box.
“Monday, December 2, the election process will start for those taking part in the special voting process. I want the media to provide fair coverage of the process.
“For our security people, we expect them to be fair in their duties. The election is not only about Monday, it’s a whole process,” she stated, highlighting the interconnectedness of the voting procedures.
Professor Opoku-Agyemang also criticised the new arrangements for voter allocation, noting that moving voters away from their districts posed unnecessary challenges.
She suggested that the previous system, which allowed voters to cast their ballots closer to their localities, would have reduced the burden of public education and logistical difficulties.
Reflecting on the NDC’s time in government, she asserted that such challenges were uncommon.
“I don’t think there was any time that the NDC was in government that the media or police had to go to another country because they couldn’t work in their own country,” she stated, expressing hope for a smooth and fair electoral process in the days ahead.
