According to him, the EC intends to rake in as many as 700,000 votes from the proxy voting and add to President Mahama’s votes. Mr Kennedy Agyapong indicated that he went to the USA recently and had intelligence that some people had come there for a secret meeting with some top NDC officials on how to fashion out a strategy to rig the elections for the NDC. Mr Agyapong has therefore, cautioned the leadership of the NPP not to accept any proxy voting because it is an agenda to rake in 700,000 votes for President Mahama. The policy advisor to the flag bearer of the NPP, Boakye Agarko, on the same platform, ridiculed the president for copying the policies of the NPP.
