The 2020 flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, says the party has discovered that the deployment of “Illiterate” agents to some polling stations negatively accounted for their defeat in the 2020 polls.
Mr. Mahama made this revelation at the annual conference of NDC’s professional forum on Thursday 29th April, 2021.
According to Mr. Mahama, this development came to light after some regional chairmen submitted their 2020 general elections reports.
“One of the regional chairman reports clearly states that some party agents deployed as polling agents were illiterates, they couldn’t read nor write”, he said.
“So it’s obvious that they have started doing a review of what went right or what went wrong. What they did well leading to a positive outcome and what they could have done better” he said.
Mr. Mahama therefore called on the NDC professionals to apply for the electoral officers role during elections.
“ if you have the qualification to be an electoral officer apply for the position. Our NPP opponent have taken advantage of that, so you find that when EC advertises, many of the NPP supporters do apply and you know what kind of advantage they can give them”.
