The main opposition National Democratic Congress will deploy drones to monitor the 2024 elections as part of its vigilance strategy.
The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the party, Mr Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, explained to party supporters during a recent tour by the flagbearer, Mr John Mahama that they are taking vigilance seriously.
The party says it is aiming to win two million votes in the region.
“Next week, we are going to train constituency executives on how to use drones to monitor what happens during the elections,” Ashie Moore announced.
During the tour, former President John Mahama warned that the NDC can put in all the effort needed to win the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections but without vigilance, it will all be in vain.
Mr Mahama said the party and its supporters must pay full attention to happenings at the polling stations to avert any fraud.
“One of the key things in this election is vigilance: we can do all the campaigning we want, but if we are not vigilant on the day, and we don’t cover every single polling station with eagle eyes”, Mr Mahama said
“You can do all the beautiful things you can: razzmatazz, and in the end, you don’t achieve the target you want,” he noted.
“So, Greater Accra Region, we want you to cover all the polling stations with the best party agents,” Mr Mahama charged.
He pointed out: “The election directory, you are aware, is conducting some exercises”, explaining: “They’ve been conducting exams for election directors in their constituencies and the regions because we need the best people who understand the electoral system to be able to monitor the elections in the region”.
“We should not be sentimental with these appointments and appoint the right people,” he advised.
