The National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), George Opare Addo, has vowed to resist any attempts by opponents to steal ballot boxes during the 2024 general elections.

He made this declaration at the NDC’s campaign launch in Tamale on Saturday, July 27, 2024.

Mr. Opare Addo warned that the NDC would confront individuals who try to snatch ballot boxes.

He emphasised that the party is prepared to take decisive action to protect the integrity of the electoral process.

During his speech, Mr. Opare Addo expressed confidence in the NDC’s ability to secure victory in the upcoming elections.

He cited the party’s success in safeguarding ballot boxes during the Assin North by-election as evidence of their commitment and capability.

He underscored the importance of protecting ballot papers, stating that the NDC is ready to defend them at any cost, even at the peril of their lives.

This commitment, he noted, is crucial to ensuring a fair and transparent election.

“My last message is to the Electoral Commission, Madam Jane Mensa, come December 7…we’re not asking anybody to cheat for NDC, we’re very confident we’re winning the elections. But woe unto any man born of a woman, who would dare go to any polling station and do the untoward, we will face them squarely.

“We were in the Assin North Constituency and we protected the ballot boxes, and we will protect the ballot boxes at the peril of our lives come December 7," he stated.
