The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) seems hell-bent on winning the upcoming December 7 elections either by fair or foul means.
Information gathered by DAILY GUIDE indicates that the leadership of the party has deployed one of its last minute strategies intended to win the elections.
That involves sending its agents and assigns to some remote villages across the country, ostensibly to register young people for recruitment into the various security agencies when they win the elections. Some of the villages are Ateiku in the Western Region, Kpassa and Nkwanta, Kparekpare and Tokuroanu in the Oti Region.
This they do by issuing out carefully designed and printed recruitment forms to unsuspecting Ghanaians under the pretext of having them enlisted into the various security agencies, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, Immigration, Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Fire Service, Prisons Service and Customs when they come to power.
This comes at no cost to the potential victims of this grand scheme.
The agents and assigns are then said to later go back for the filled and completed forms with the promise to these unsuspecting youth that they will be the first batch of people to be sent for training in the various security agencies when they win power.
Sources say the plan is to get not less than one million votes with the deployment of this last minute strategy in a desperate attempt to win power.
Apart from that, the party is said to have been reaching out to some beneficiaries of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy to influence them to vote against the New Patriotic Party (NPP), with an offer to give them GH₵500 each.
“They think we are fools that they can influence us to vote against the very government that made us to go to secondary school for free,” a Free SHS beneficiary told the paper.
