A member of the Convention People's Party (CPP) James Kwabena Bomfeh popularly known as Kabila, has rubbished the decision by the National Democratic (NDC) to monitor the 2024 elections with drones.

Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrookoo' morning show Kabila, explained that flying drones on an election ground in a quest to monitor the procedures could incite chaos if other political parties decide to follow suit.

He questioned if the NDC party does not have confidence in its agents that will be present on the day of election.

Kabila advised the NDC to allow its representatives and the Electoral Commission (EC), to conduct free and fair elections.

“What will be the essence of flying drones on election grounds? Kwame there’s one State security agency, security and intelligence agency. We can’t have a parallel security intelligence agency. If there’s any monitoring to be done by citizens. A political party cannot just wake up and do that on their own. If you go and do it and another party follows suit, it won’t go well.

“It could cause chaos. Are the party agents enough to monitor or they don’t trust them,” he added.Kabila’s comment comes after the NDC indicated that it will employ drones to monitor the upcoming December 7 polls specifically, in the Greater Accra Region.

According to the Regional Chairman of the party, Ashie Moore, this is to safeguard the security of over two million votes for the NDC, and enhance surveillance mechanisms to avoid any potential irregularities.

Mr Moore added that comprehensive plans are already in progress, including the training of personnel designated to operate the drones.Meanwhile, the flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama, has emphasized the need for heightened vigilance among party members in Accra.During his 'Building Ghana Tour' in Accra, Mahama attributed the NDC's loss in the 2020 elections to various irregularities.

He urged executives to carefully select capable agents to represent the party during the polls.
