The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma Central on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Theophilus Tetteh Chaie, has said the Director of Communications for the NPP, Nana Akomea is finding a fertile ground for excuses and blame games because he knows the NPP will lose the November 7 elections.

According to the Honorable Tetteh Chaie, just as several NPP executives have seen, Nana Akomea has also seen from afar that the NPP has no chance of winning the presidential elections and so he is finding ways to appeal to the teeming supporters of the party by attacking the Electoral Commission.

Nana Akomea has said that his party, the NPP, will win this year’s general elections-‘with or without’ credible voters’ register. According to him, Ghanaians are fed up with the unacceptable incompetence of the Mahama led administration – hence their resolve to vote them out.

That notwithstanding, the EC must conduct this year’s elections with a credible electoral register, he said.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Akomea expatiated that “there is no doubt that the voters’ register is hopelessly bloated and therefore, not fit for purpose for the 2016 elections.”

But reacting to these comments on TOP FM morning show hosted by Ekourba Gyasi on Wednesday, Theophilus Tetteh Chaie said all these comments from Nana Akomea are mere gimmick.

According to him, the NPP is jittering, hence, finding ways and means to comfort their supporters after their defeat.

Tetteh Chaie who is not seeking a reelection as a member of parliament urged the NPP to stop spewing lies and rather focus on training their polling agents on electoral matters.

“For us in the NDC we are busily training our agents on elections,” he said. Adding that “instead of the NPP training their polling agents they are just making noise around.”

But in a sharp rebuttal, the MP for Dormaa East, William Kwasi Sabi, said the NPP is only ensuring that all the processes in the elections are credible.
“We are starting from the voters register which is the basis of our elections,” he said.

According to him, the NPP is also training its polling agents ahead of the November 7 poll.
