January 7, 1996

In the run-up to the December 7, 1996 general elections in Ghana, we were constrained to issue an

urgent appeal to the World Bank, the IMP, US AID and other foreign creditors of Ghana calling for free, fair

and transparent elections. Our main concern was with the health and well-being of our fledgling democracy,

peace and orderly development of our nation. In that regard, we observe with pride that Ghanaians turned

out in their numbers to carry out their civic responsibilities in peace and orderliness as they have always done

since before independence.

We wish to extend our hearty congratulations to the good people of Ghana for the level of political

maturity and civility exhibited. However. the best efforts put forth by the general electorate was seriously

marred by a host of irregularities, infractions, intimidation and fraud perpetrated by agents of the ruling

National Democratic Congress (NDC) government. in many instances. with the active connivance of the

Electoral Commission.

At the very outset, we make bold to state categorically that we reject outright the proclamation by

the international observers that the December 7 elections in Ghana were "free. fair and transparent." We are

convinced that with the number of irregularities and infractions which we have itemized below. no one in his

or her right senses would honestly declare, or for that matter accept any such election as "free, fair and

transparent." We know that if these numerous acts of misconduct. fraud and vote rigging were to occur

anywhere in the Western world. there would undoubtedly be a loud clamor for declaring the elections null

and void. It is our view that in this age of cyber-space. the CNN and Internet, Ghanaians in particular and Africans in general cannot and must not accept anything less. Those who assert their readiness to ''trade peace for the injustice" are nothing more than capituiationists and collaborators with the enemies of Africa.

After 40 years of independence we are no doubt capable of organizing a genuinely free. fair and

tranSparent election such as the ones held in Ghana on June 18 and July 9. 1979 where the temptation of an incumbent forcing or bending the rules to his advantage did not exist We are aware that some may also be

tempted to question why even after the leadership of the Great Alliance had grudgingly conceded defeat. we

here in North America have persisted in what we consider to be a moral crusade aimed at righting the wrongs

brought into the open by both the covert and overt collusion between the NDC regime and the National

Electoral Commission (NEC)?

Herewith are our concrete reasons:

1.) On the day of elections. the NEC with the active connivance of the NDC regime authorized the

issuing of voter identity cards solely to persons introduced by NDC agents. This exercise was

never made known by the Electoral Commissioner to the other parties and was c.onducted in

secret locations across the country. e.g. Dunia Cinema in Ayawaso Constituency (Greater )

and (Brong-Ahafo) where the perpetrators were actually apprehended. So far there has

been no prosecution of the culprits.

2.) Would-be voters reported at some polling stations with strange voter ID cards.

3.) In the regional capitals. some NDC supporters attempted - and others actually succeeded - to cast

their votes illegally with ID cards which had no pictures. as required by law.

4.) There were dubious transfer list of voters in the hands of NDC agents which were unsigned by

the Electoral Commissioner.

5.) Alleged eligibility of voters whose names did not appear on the registration list but who had voter

ID cards.

2 6.) Pre-election reports of ID card buying by NDC operatives from bonafide voters went

uninvestigated.

7.) Numerous cases of under-age voters (between 10 and 17 years) especially in Volta, Brong-Ahafo,

Upper East and Upper West regions where the NDC reportedly recorded the heaviest votes.

8.) Reported shortages of ballot papers and indelible ink at several polling stations or as early as

11:00 am while at others, polling agents substituted other kinds of ink that easily washed away.

9.) Numerous documented cases of intimidation and harassment of opposition party agents in many

polling stations especially in Volta, Brong-Ahafo, Upper East and Upper West regions by armed

militiamen with the result that in numerous cases, the voting returns were not signed by the

accredited agents of the opposition parties. Yet the Electoral Commission saw it fit to accept

those results as genuine.

10.) Alteration of voting results at polling stations to favor the NDC and its flag-bearer ex-Fl LL U.

Rawlings. The example of the Auakwa Constituency where it took the exchange of gun-shots

and the vigilance of the Great Alliance supporters to prevent a similar travesty and ensure the

election of the people's choice in the person of Nana Akuffo Addo.

Il.) There are also several examples of glaringly falsified results e.g. in Bimbila Constituency where

the PNC candidate won the Parliamentary election with 13,796 votes against the NDC candidate

Thn Chambas who placed third with 7,488 votes. Strangely the NDC Presidential candidate was

said to have polled 14,462 as against 6,284 votes for the PNC Presidential candidate in the same

constituency.

12.) At Sefwi in total votes cast in Parliamentary election came up to about

43,000 while total votes for the Presidential race was put at over 55,000 votes - a whooping

12,000 votes overlap. This discrepancy shows that the NDC Presidential candidate alone polled

3 over 44,000 votes ie. over 1,000 votes more than the total· votes cat in the Parliamentary. This

is blatantly unreal.

13.) Open bribery of the electorate in all the regions but more so in the Upper East, Upper West,

Central, Brong-Ahafo and Northern Ghana. Even though these corrupt and criminal practices

were adequately reported in the local press, neither the Electoral Commissioner nor the Inspector

General of Police (IGP) made any serious efforts to bring the perpetrators to book since

invariably they were agents of the incumbent regime.

14.) The newly appointed IGP, Peter Nanfuri (expected to be non-partisan) was reported to have

exhorted police officers in . to vote for J.J. Rawlings and the NDC party

because he (IGP) had already discussed with the incumbent President the need to do something

about the conditions of service for the police. The Electoral Commissioner did not issue any

reprimand for this gross violation of the code of conduct. Wherein lies the fairness?

15.) Then there was the seriously biased coverage of the entire electioneering campaign by the state­

owned GTV, radio and print media which, as in the case in 1992, were all pressed into service

for the undue advantage of the incumbents. The crowning event in the chain of unfair coverage

came at the II th hour in the form of the address to the nation by one of the contestants. J.J.

Rawlings who used the occasion to appeal for votes, while a similar request was denied to the

other two contestants for the Presidency. Would that kind of situation be accepted as fair in any

true democracy especially when that same favored candidate had rejected repeated calls and

public opinion for an open debate with the other contestants on the same state-owned television

and radio?

16.) Reports of non-Ghanaians being helped by NDC agents to cross the borders in the Volta, Upper

East, Upper West and Brong-Ahafo regions to cast votes illegally for a fee were all ignored by

4 law enforcement agencies headed by the IGP recently appointed by 1.1. Rawlings. These

allegations constitute the basis of some of the cases currently pending before the courts in Ghana.

Examples are and .

17.) The most serious infractions occurred during the 72 hours immediately following the close of the

polls at which time the international observers had already made their pronouncements on the

"free, fair and transparent" elections. During this period. the Electoral Commissioner imposed

an artificial freeze on the results without explanation. When fmally the results began to be

released. this was done piece-meal and in a manner that the Electoral Commissioner later

intimated was meant "to prevent the people from getting excited". whatever that means. lB.) Then again. without any provocation whatsoever or any acts of civil disobedience from the

opposition parties. armed soldiers were deployed in the streets and sent ostensibly to protect the

headquarters of the Electoral Commissioner and the NDC Party - clearly the actions of guilty

minds.

19.) Above all the absolute lack of fairness and transparency in the December 7. 1996 elections was

manifested in the total absence of rules governing campaign financing. This allowed the NDC

regime. with its hands on the nation' s purse to recklessly abuse state funds and other resources

in unprecedented ways. Thus with no probity or accountability in the system. over BOO giant

billboards were erected across the land by the NDC. These was almost non-stop advertisements

on GTV. Radio Ghana. Radio Joy. etc. as well as in the state-owned Daily Graphic and the

Ghanaian Tunes. Over 250 new vehicles costing billions of cedis were ordered for the campaign

by the NDC together with large quantities of bicycles. sewing machines. hair dressing gadgets.

wrist watches. etc. bearing the insignia of the NDC costing millions in foreign exchange were

imported into Ghana and openly used to bribe and entice voters especially in the deprived rural
