General News of Saturday, 8 December 2012 Source: NPP Communications Directorate Mr Boakye Agyarko, the Campaign Manager of Nana Akufo-Addo's campaign for President, today predicted with confidence a solid first round victory for the NPP presidential candidate.With only a fraction of votes in less than one per cent of polling stations yet to be cast, due to faulty biometric verification machines on December 7, the President of the Republic and the ruling National Democratic Congress are clutching at straws and creating the impression as if the remaining votes, when cast, can overturn the obvious defeat that the ruling party has suffered in this election.Mr Boakye Agyarko said the NDC should not use the problem which affected a relatively tiny number of polling centres as an excuse for their bad showing in Friday’s presidential and parliamentary polls. For example, voting will take place Saturday in 73 polling stations in Greater Accra, 25 in the Central Region and only 2 in the Volta Region.“This cannot be said to amount to a disaster, especially, when there is an opportunity to redress this matter today,” he said.“We are happy that the EC, in accordance with the law, will allow voters who missed out Friday, as a result of faulty equipment, to exercise their franchise today, Saturday, December 8. We are, therefore, calling on all our supporters to come out once again in their numbers and vote.”But, the NPP Campaign Manager could not hide his party’s disappointment with attempts by the NDC to discredit the elections
