A former National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress [NDC] Kofi Adams says his party has Ghana at heart – therefore, defied all means to challenge the 2016 presidential election knowing very well that the NPP won the election through dubious means.
Mr Adams was emphatic that the 2016 presidential election was 'heavily rigged' to favour the then opposition New Patriotic Party [NPP] led by its flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“We knew something was wrong when results started coming from various regions. Considering the tension that was building on then [in 2016], if we had challenged the results, Ghana wouldn’t have been what it is today,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, 'Ghana Montie'.
Koif Adams backed former President John Dramani Mahama’s claim that the 2016 was not “free and fair” – after applauding his decision “to let go” the 2016 election for the peace of the country.
Mahama who is still not over the 2016 ‘embarrassing’ defeat has called on the Electoral Commission to publish details of its investigations into the hacking of its transmission system during the 2016 general elections.
According to him, Ghanaians deserve to know circumstances under which the EC’s system was compromised at the time.
“As I speak, I am not aware that the Electoral Commission has carried out any investigation into what compromised their IT system. And even if they have, we the stakeholders, the political parties, have not been briefed on what caused the corruption of the system.”
“In the interest of transparency, it is important for Ghanaians to understand what happened before we go into another election,” the former President said during a presentation at the Saïd Business School, Oxford University, organised in collaboration with the African Studies Centre and the Oxford Africa.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THIS FULLLLLL OF A FAILED NATIONAL ORGANIZER?
Then it's not even safe to bring you back to power in 2020. The government in power allowed the opposition party to rig an election then you're not fit to rule this Country. We will all be colonized again if we bring back to power. It's unfortunate, even in opposition, you're still showing incompetence just like the party in power.
Some people because political parties are their way of worship do not even fear that wrath of God is been visited on our nation Ghana but just opened their mouths and spew out any word that come to their minds. In anyway let me ask all of you who speak without the fear of God in you. if Ghana were to be at war that time which of you is so sure that he or she will be alive say his story? Just ask yourselves these probing questions.

Braa Kofi, are you referring to the same election in which you were "in a comfortable lead" at a certain stage? At that stage there was no rigging, right?

A political party that only cares about how to plan and win election, and fill their individual packets.
every election has been rigged. so what's your point mr. adamu? Is it the 'heavily' that is your problem or the fact that you were incompetent?
