Two Groups Declare Demonstration to Defend EC

Two organizations, ‘Fixing the Country Movement’ and ‘Patriotic Troopers, Ghana’ have issued a Joint Public
Statement to declare Mass Action on September 17, 2024 against what they term as the ‘NDC’s bastardization of the
EC’.
‘Fixing the Country Movement’ and ‘Patriotic Troopers of Ghana’ stated that they are appalled at the manner the
Electoral Commission (EC) has come under attack in recent times.
“These attacks emanating from the stables of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) suggest that the EC is on a
mission to rig the 2024 general elections in favour of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP),” the two organizations
claimed.
They stated that when Johnson Asiedu Nkentiah stood on an NDC campaign platform and called on his partisan
followers to go out on the street and demonstrate against the Electoral Commission on September 17, he was
actually making a mockery of our democracy.
“And when the NDC flagbearer, John Mahama reiterated this call by urging his party membership to go and
demonstrate at the offices of the EC, he was being disingenuous and dishonourable.  In fact, it is quite clear that the
call by the NDC for forensic examination of all the voter roll is borne out of the party’s attempt to bastadize the
commission,” they said.
The statement was signed by Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah Bonsu (Convener – Fixing the Country Movement) and
Moses Abbor – Convener- (Patriotic Troopers, Ghana).
They stated that the propaganda machinery of the opposition NDC has devolved into a pointless internecine politics
of attrition.
“So much that, even the inquisitiveness of our traditional party politics have been circumscribed by the unwarranted
presumption that propaganda is the way out,” they said.
(Below is the rest of the statement).
It is therefore no wonder to have woken up to yet another dose of NDC’s mind management tactic of creating a
discursive regime of the inevitability of its propagandist politics with this clear attempt to destabilise the EC.
In the light of the above, Fixing the Country Movement and Patriotic Troopers are orgainsing a counter
demonstration on September 17, to drum home the point that the EC is being targeted by the NDC unfairly and
unduly.
We're by this public statement issuing a notice public action on the sane day that the NDC is orgainsing theirs – we
are leading a citizens coalition for mass action to condemn the NDC's Communist tactics.
We also call on peace loving Ghanaians to join hands with the Fixing the Country Movement and Patriotic Troopers
to send a clear message to the NDC that enough is enough.
As trusting citizens, it is our collective responsibility to put the country first and stand up against saboteurs.
It is truly beyond comprehension that the NDC is so poorly led that Mahama is able to get away with such loose
talks and disrespect for our institutions of democracy.
Truly, the NDC has a notoriety for black propaganda and this is one of their antiquated antics. Indeed, this their
latest propaganda could very well amount to dancing themselves lame in rehearsals for a dancing contest they may
not eventually take part in.
The NDC and Mahama remains clear and present danger to our democracy.
In actual fact, the NDC’s desperate bid to grab power using subterfuge is the reason they are targeting the EC.
They have been at it, and it has been ineffective over the course of time, and yet they have failed to learn the right
lessons. They have been employing lies and dirty propaganda as well as well rehearsed jaundiced strategies to win
elections but it has always ended in absolute turmoil.
Mahama, and his enablers have not changed one bit. Given the chance, they'll roll back decades of progress made on
diversity in our political system — and it’s reflective of the kinds of limited perspectives and experiences they
welcome on everyday public conversations.
Let's speak out against Mahama's demonstrated danger to our democracy.
We have to stop these group of ideologues who obviously have nothing to offer this country. Ghanaians must be
weary of Mahama and his silly little idealistic weirdos who want to turn this country into 21st Century Communist
State.
