The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) claims the European Union (EU) Observer Mission, that monitored the 2020 elections and declared Ghana as a strong democracy in Africa, is biased towards the ruling NPP.
Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Peter Buamah Otokunor, believes the EU Observer Mission failed to include their concerns about the elections in their report.
To this end, the NDC says they will demand an amendment to the European Union election observation report at a meeting with the EU delegation.
According to the NDC, the delegation deliberately ignored the killing of seven people during the polls in order to whitewash the image of the NPP government. Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Peter Buamah Otokunor says the delegation must include the party’s concerns.
“We know the EU Observer Mission is biased. We can see it on their final report. We wonder why they did not include our concerns at all,” he stated.

Developments in the NPP
Meanwhile, investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni, believes now is the time for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to consider Bawumia as the running mate for the 2024 general elections. His reason is that the Vice President and wife have sacrificed like a donkey for the party.
“The Bawumia’s have worked like donkeys during the campaigns and we have tangible results to show for their sweat in certain identifiable electoral quarters. He is part of the reason many of us have enjoyed or will enjoy the power and its trappings in the eight years,” he stated.
