The National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), George Opare-Addo, has tasked members of the party to stop any moves to disrupt the polls on December 7, 2024.
Speaking to TV3 after the unveiling of the NDC Youth Wing Secretariat, he said they will be vigilant at the polling stations and closely monitor the counting of votes.
His comments follow a request by the party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, that the party must strive for a convincing victory.
“A call to police the polls is a call to duty. Every Ghanaian knows that where Ghana stands today, it is in our best interest to make sure that every single vote that is cast is properly accounted for and so we will police the ballots at the peril of our lives – that I can assure everybody – to make sure the right things are done, and nobody takes us for granted.”

“If I vote, my vote must be counted. Nobody, whether an electoral officer or a police officer or a military officer or anybody – not even the president – should attempt to take the mandate of the people for granted,” he said on Friday, March 29, 2024.
John Mahama has urged the youth wing to work closely with the election directorate of the party “in terms of the vigilance that we need at the polling stations and the transmission of the results.”

“You know the campaign is important, the message is important but most critical of all is that elections are won or lost at the polling stations and so we can have the nicest of the messages, we can do the best of campaigns… if on the day, we do not police the poll, the objective that we set for ourselves will not happen,” he directed.
