Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko Computer, has assured that the party will take appropriate action after receiving the findings of the committee investigating alleged vote-buying during the Ayawaso East parliamentary primaries.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on Joy FM\u2019s Top Story<\/strong>, Mr Tanko said the party has confidence in the committee\u2019s work and urged supporters to remain calm while the process is completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a political party, we believe in the committee that we have set to deliberate on this matter and present its report.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are appealing to our supporters, activists and senior party members in the constituencies to hold their horses and allow the committee to finish its work, present its report tomorrow, and then the party will come out with its decision,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Mr Tanko was responding to questions about whether the NDC would have the political will to annul the election if the committee recommends such action, even in the face of opposition from traditional authorities in the area.<\/p>\n

However, he declined to speculate on the outcome, insisting that the party would wait for the committee\u2019s conclusions. \u201cLet them bring their report first,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further expressed confidence in the calibre and credibility of the committee members, noting that the chairman\u2019s experience in top government and party positions should assure the public of a fair and truthful process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he is chairing a committee, you don\u2019t expect him to come out with nothing but the fact and the truth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The committee was set up following allegations of inducement and vote-buying during the party\u2019s Ayawaso East primaries, which have sparked public debate and raised concerns about internal electoral integrity.<\/p>\n

The committee is expected to submit its report by Tuesday, February 10, after which the NDC says it will announce its next steps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
