The Accra Mail says in circumstances similar to Nixon’s Watergate Scandal, a secret voice claiming insider knowledge of the Electoral Commission and the intelligence agencies has told the paper that some unnamed officials of the Electoral Commission (EC) have been drafted by the NDC to help in massive rigging.
This is especially in the Volta Region, rural Greater Accra and parts of the Northern and Upper Regions.
The caller, identified by the paper as ‘Deep Throat’, indicated that Mr Kufuor and his strategists would have to be extremely vigilant and not accept results at face value as a result of the major rigging plans.
“Tell Mr Kufuor and his people not to accept any results with ridiculous figures for Mills because even the intelligence agencies agree that the figures are as close to reality as possible. In fact, they were doctored to cheat him. You said it and you are right, the NDC cannot win elections without cheating one way or the other,” the caller said.
The rigging according to ‘Deep Throat’ was to come from ghost and Togolese voters to be used in the Volta Region as well as the doctoring of polling stations results on their way to District, Regional and National headquarters.
