The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has expressed strong confidence in the party\u2019s chances of securing a first-round victory in the upcoming December general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on Joy News\u2019<\/em> PM Express<\/em> on Tuesday, December 3, Mr. Kwetey ruled out the likelihood of a runoff, emphasizing the NDC\u2019s belief in its ability to win decisively in the first round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are confident of a first-round win, but ultimately, the decision lies in the hands of the Ghanaian people,\u201d he stated, while acknowledging that the final outcome will depend on the voters\u2019 will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Kwetey also took the opportunity to criticize the Electoral Commission (EC), led by Jean Mensa, citing what he described as a series of operational inefficiencies. He pointed to the recent delay in special voting for the Western and Eastern Regions as a sign of deeper issues within the Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe EC under Jean Mensa claims to be the best in our history, but the facts tell a different story. From questions of neutrality and independence to the postponement of special voting in two major regions, the Commission has not shown that it is fully in control of the process,\u201d Mr. Kwetey argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He further compared the current EC leadership to former chairs, Dr. Kwadwo Afari-Gyan and Charlotte Osei, suggesting that the Commission\u2019s current performance falls short of the standards set by its predecessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Kwetey warned that these challenges could erode public trust in the electoral process, stressing the need for the EC to address its shortcomings to ensure a smooth and transparent election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the December polls approach, the NDC remains optimistic about its prospects, urging Ghanaians to exercise their democratic rights and ensure their voices are heard at the ballot box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has expressed strong confidence in the party\u2019s chances of securing a first-round victory in the upcoming December general elections.
