Member of Parliament for the Ningo Prampram Constituency, Sam Nartey George, says the National Democratic Congress, will not drag any political party or the Electoral Commission to court over electoral malpractices.
He said the party will be vigilant at the various polling stations and ensure that they (NDC) win the elections.
“We will win our elections at the polling stations and we will protect and secure the ballot boxes at the polling station. Nobody has the intention of going to court. We will settle the scores in 2024 at the polling station,” he said.
He made the remarks on the Good Morning Ghana show, where he said the opposition NDC will use what it takes to win and protect the ballots boxes in the 2024 general elections and is prepared to go against match anyone who tries to rig the elections.
“Look, this is a message to our national chairman and general secretary, we are not going to court in 2024. So, nobody in the national executive should think that anybody will follow anybody to court. The courts in 2024 are going to be at the polling station. And that’s why I call for parliamentary candidates who have what it takes to secure the ballot boxes,” he said.
“Those with investment beating the war drums, they should continue, it doesn’t take a lot to raze down people’s investment. Fifty cedis fuel and one matchstick is what is needed,” Sam George added.
Meanwhile, Sylvester Tetteh, the New Patriotic Party (MPP) Member of Parliament for Bortianor-Ngleshie-Amanfro dismissed the threats from his fellow lawmaker, describing them as ‘threats of a cockroach.’
Sly interjected with his rebuttal stating: “This is a threat of a cockroach, and like William Shakespeare said, cowards die many times before their death. Cowards die many times before their death. Please, stop this.”
When host of Good Morning Ghana, Randy Abbey intervened asking that Sam George finishes, his point, he took a swipe at agric minister Bryan Acheampong who recently vowed that the NPP will match the NDC in 2024 and that they won’t hand over power to them ever.
“When your boss was standing there ‘ensi da’ (it won’t happen), even him you were hailing him. We will call a spade a spade in 2024, we will settle it at the polling stations,” Sam George added.
