GHANAIANS MUST RISE NOW TO GET A NEW REGISTER!

Snap polls conducted by a team of Let My Vote Count Alliance volunteers across the country suggest that a huge majority of Ghanaians want a new register and believe the 2016 general elections will be bogus if we go in without a new register.

They do not want an election where even before the polls open one party knows it already has opened a big gap on the rest because of ghost votes it has in the bank which are resurrected during counting.

The dangerous information we have is that the leadership of the EC, led by Mrs Charlotte Osei, has made an ungodly pact with the leadership of the NDC, led by President John Mahama, to once again steal the elections on behalf of the ruling NDC. And, ask yourselves, can they succeed without STL?

They understand that the electoral reforms being pushed by the nation after the disputed 2012 elections are going to make it difficult to steal and buy future elections.

So they have devised new ways. But before any new way can happen the NDC knows they must have the assurance that the over one million details of illegal registrations inserted in the 2012 register are not disturbed. That is the only reason why Aseidu Nketia has turned himself into the Propaganda Secretary of the Electoral Commission, jumping from one radio station to another, screaming hoarse against the growing calls for a new voters' register.

Part of this new diabolic plan for power is the ongoing free membership drive of the NDC. Ask yourselves why would a political party go through the trouble of spending all this money to do biometric registration of its members? Biometric technology is a security control measure. What is so special about party membership that it must have such hi-tech security features?

We know what the NDC and the EC are up to. We know they want to steal the elections again. We know they are determined not to give the people a new, credible register.  We know by their actions they don't want peace in the country. All they are interested in is power.

But the LMVCA is determined to protect our democracy. We are determined to guard the stability of our nation and to do so we need to bring back integrity into the way elections are conducted.

We are giving public notice with this press release that we intend to mobilise tens of thousands of Ghanaians nationwide to stand up for their voting rights. To stand up and protect the principle of One Ghanaian One Vote and we will use every legitimate means available to stop Mrs Osei and her deputy commissioners and their corrupt people in their ICT Department from allowing the NDC once again to take us to the brink of civil unrest and conflict. Next time none of us can predict if the anger of the masses can be contained as Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP leadership, LMVCA and religious leaders managed to do by persuading the people to put their trust in the legal system for redress after the stolen electoral verdict in 2012.

We must stand up now or forever be sorry.

Thank you
