The Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko Computer, has expressed confidence that Ghanaians will vote for the NDC in the 2024 elections, regardless of the party’s position on the ballot.
His comments come in the wake of the party securing the eighth spot during the recent Electoral Commission ballot for the upcoming elections.
Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV, Mr. Tanko Computer emphasised that ballot position has little bearing on electoral outcomes, citing past experiences where the NDC held the top spot but still lost.
“If you pick number one, it doesn’t guarantee your win. We have placed severally on the number one position and lost the elections, it doesn’t win you the elections.
“I am also saying that, even if we are placed in the deepest part of the ballot paper, Ghanaians are voting for the umbrella. They virtually will look for the umbrella, that is what everybody is looking at.
“If you go to the rural community, you will see that everybody is talking about the umbrella and they will definitely look for it,” he stated.
