NDC couldn’t collate results in the past because agents were compromised by NPP – Fifi Kwetey

Fifi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has emphasized that in the past, the NDC was unable to collate their electoral results because many of their agents had been compromised by the NPP.

He stated that individuals they believed to be loyal to their party had betrayed them.

Looking ahead to the 2024 election, Fifi Kwetey assured party supporters that they would field officers who prioritize the interests of the party and the nation over financial incentives.

He made these remarks during an interview on Radio Tamale.

“In parts where NPP has been strong there is the tendency of them throwing money at our people. In fact some of the people we even thought were our own members were not our members but they were members of the NPP pretending to be on our side.

“So every step of the way we need to ensure that does not happen. You’re making sure that those who are there are truly your members and if they are your members they will place the party and the country ahead of their personal gain,” Kwetey said.

He continued “as I told you about the plague that the NPP represents, in the days of Rawlings it was impossible to hear about NDC people capable of being compromised. But unfortunately when NPP took over power in this country after 8 years of Kufour, the moral fibre of the country started dropping. When we thought Kufour was terrible, what we’ve had in the last eight years of the two degenerates that have taken over, you are talking about a further drop as far as the moral fibre of the country is concerned. So what we need to do is to put in extra effort to ensure that the people we are placing there are people who have got the capacity to place country and party above their personal consideration”.

Fifi Kwetey urged for greater vigilance in selecting individuals who can uphold the values of the party and prioritize national interests.

Meanwhile, Asiedu Nketia, vying for the position of NDC chairman, criticized the former Chairman of the party for the failure to collate electoral results.

He cited technical issues with the software used for collation, which led to system crashes and the inability to provide accurate figures.
