Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has warned the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), to transfer power peacefully to the NDC after the 2024 general elections.

“NPP must choose peaceful transfer of power from NPP to NDC in their own interest. The 2024 elections will not be business as usual," he said at a May 9 press conference.

“The EC must sit up! The EC must answer the 35 questions posed by the NDC on the stolen biometric equipment.

“The EC has no option but to allow our agents to record the serial numbers of the BVR kits deployed for this registration exercise if they have nothing to hide,” he added during the press briefing at the party’s headquarters.

Nketiah accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of potential complicity with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo concerning his purported reluctance to transfer power to the NDC's candidate, John Dramani Mahama.

"We do not expect the Electoral Commission to act as the conduit through which Akufo-Addo will implement his avowed determination not to hand over power to the visionary, experienced, and trustworthy John Dramani Mahama," he added.

He disclosed that NDC registration agents nationwide were prepared to oppose any efforts by the EC to diminish transparency in the ongoing voter registration process.

"We wish to serve notice and notice is hereby served that NDC registration agents across the country will resist the EC’s clandestine attempts aimed at diminishing transparency in the voter registration exercise," Nketiah asserted.

He emphasized that NDC agents would utilize the party's advanced application systems to transmit all serial numbers of Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits to the National Elections and IT Directorate of the party, regardless of EC approval.
