The Deputy Director of Elections and IT of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko-Computer, has projected a decisive win for his party in the Ayawaso East parliamentary by-election.
Speaking to Adom News while touring selected polling stations on Tuesday, Tanko Computer said feedback from the areas he had monitored suggested strong backing for the NDC candidate.
“We will hand the NPP a defeat they will never forget,” he declared, expressing confidence that the outcome would favour his party despite what he described as generally low voter turnout.
According to him, early observations indicate that the NDC maintains a comfortable edge. He also dismissed concerns about the independent candidate, Umaru Sanda Mohammed, a former NDC member, insisting that his participation poses no significant challenge to the party’s prospects.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate, Baba Ali Yussif, attributed the slow turnout to the Ramadan period.
He noted that many Muslim voters may choose to cast their ballots later in the day and expressed strong optimism about his chances at the polls.
Both camps remain upbeat as voting continues across the constituency, with party officials closely monitoring developments at various polling stations.
