Mahama added that the said plot would not materialize as the people of Ghana are determined to hand over power to the NDC.
"With less than 24 hours to go, it has become obvious that the Electoral Commission is determined to aid the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rig the elections. But they will fail because the people of Ghana are determined to vote for change and protect their ballots.
