- Addressing voter register concerns through dialogue is more effective than public protests
- The NDC has been asked multiple times to provide data on alleged discrepancies
- The EC assures it is working diligently to resolve issues
The Electoral Commission (EC) has addressed the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s concerns about the 2024 Voters Register, clarifying that demonstrations are not the appropriate method for addressing these issues.
The EC highlighted that the NDC has been repeatedly asked to submit data on alleged discrepancies in the voters’ register but has failed to do so.
In a press conference on Thursday, Samuel Tettey, Deputy Commissioner of Operations, emphasized that the EC had previously assured the NDC that any reported issues would be thoroughly investigated within a week, contingent upon receiving the necessary data.
The Commission stressed that constructive dialogue, rather than public protests, is the most effective way to resolve concerns and improve the voters’ register.
The EC has called on former President John Mahama to encourage his party to engage in discussions with the Commission.
Reiterating its commitment to a transparent electoral process, the EC assured that it is diligently working to address any discrepancies and deliver a credible voters’ register for the December 2024 General Elections.
The Commission expressed confidence in resolving the issues through discussion and urged the public and political parties to trust in its efforts, as it had successfully done in the 2020 elections.
