The Campaign manager of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Peter Mac Manu, has advised President John Dramani Mahama and the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to be guided by the election violence that occurred in Ivory Coast and accept defeat without any hesitation to guarantee peace in the country.
He said president Mahama must ensure that he accepts defeat immediately after the December polls by calling the presidential candidate of NPP ,Nana Akufo-Addo, to congratulate him.
He assured supporters of the party, who are troubled over concerns that the government may rig the election and may not hand over power upon it defeat that the NPP will not allow that to happen.
“Nobody should be afraid, some people are worried that the NDC may rig the election or may not cede power should they lose. Let me assure you, that is not going to happen. You look around Ivory Coast. What happened to Laurent Gbago when he refused to cede power; his wife as well as his special aid who were causing trouble are all languishing in prison, so the NDC and John Mahama must take a lesson from that to cede power to guarantee peace in the country.”
Addressing supporters of the party at a programme dubbed ‘adopt a polling station now’ in Koforidua on Saturday, Mr. Mac Manu stated that Mr. Akufo-Addo accepted defeat in 2008 by congratulating President John Evans Atta Mills, adding that in 2012, the party attempted to pour on the streets to cause mayhem after the party detected irregularities, but Mr. Akufo- Addo blocked that move and opted to use legal means to seek redress at the Supreme Court.
Ken Ofori Atta, the Director -in-Charge of National Fundraising Team of the NPP, said the project being rolled out nationwide aims at ensuring that adequate resources are generated both in cash and in kind to support polling station agents who would be deployed to the various polling stations across the country to plug some loopholes that were created in their duties in the 2012 elections which provided opportunities for irregularities in the election.

Is he telling us that even if they(NPP)loose the election, NDC should hand over power to them? if that is the case then there shouldn't be any election at all. NDC should just hand over power come January 2017. Anyway those who believe in such talk from this man must prepare to d.i.e then.
Gone are the days you wicked politicians can brainwash us ooo. Mac manu/Menu or whatever you call yourself try to learn how to swim because airport will be no go area for you people should something happen.
This is what they (NPP) always say especially during elections when they knew they would loose big time.They have started again oo.My problem is they big wigs of Npp say this and make their supporters thinks that is a down deal and when it turns the other way round then they don't get it and what they could do is to go supreme court.
Is he OK, Signs of desperation and defeat is stirring at them.
So, why is this ***barred word*** always preaching violence,I bet the only language this ***barred word*** unenlightened buf:foon understand is violence.
WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT NPP PLAN IS TO CAUSE MAYHEM. YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED GIVING THE SIDNAL BY THROWING BOMB IN NDC OFFICIALS RESIDENCE. THESE ARE YOUR PLANS AND WHO DOEN;T KNOW THIS. THE GOVERNMENT MUST SIT UP ELSE THESE PEOPLE (NPP) WILL CAUSE CONFUSION. IT IS SOMETHING THEY HAVE PLAN TO DO. S H A M E LESS PEOPLE PARTY

the NDC is behaving as though they were still in opposition, the late Issah Mobilla of CPP didnt get to this level before he was tortured to death by this same group of aanimals called npp
