The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is taking a significant step to address concerns over discrepancies in Ghana’s 2024 voter register. Following an unproductive meeting with the Electoral Commission (EC), the party has announced a meeting with key stakeholders to discuss the issue. This move comes after the NDC led the “Enough is Enough Demo” on September 17, presenting a petition to the EC to address the raised concerns.
Dr. Omane Boamah, NDC’s Director of Elections and IT, made the announcement via a Facebook post, emphasizing the need for a forensic audit of the voter register and the EC’s IT system. This audit aims to restore public trust ahead of the December 2024 elections.
The meeting, scheduled for September 23 at 4 pm, will bring together Civil Society Organizations, diplomats, media managers, and journalists. The NDC seeks collaborative efforts to advocate for reforms within the Electoral Commission, prioritizing transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
According to Dr. Omane Boamah, the EC’s lack of response to their concerns necessitates this meeting. The party maintains its call for a forensic audit, stressing its importance in ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.
The NDC’s “Enough is Enough Demo” demonstrated the party’s commitment to addressing voter register discrepancies. By presenting a petition to the EC, the party highlighted the urgency of the issue.
With the deadline for the EC’s response ending soon, the NDC is intensifying its efforts to resolve the matter. Dr. Omane Boamah’s Facebook post urged supporters to stay tuned for updates.
The meeting with stakeholders is a crucial step in the NDC’s push for transparency and accountability. By engaging with CSOs, diplomats, and media professionals, the party aims to build momentum for reforms.
The Electoral Commission’s response to the NDC’s concerns will be closely watched. The party’s call for a forensic audit has sparked attention, with many awaiting the EC’s next move.
As Ghana prepares for the December 2024 elections, the voter register discrepancies have become a pressing concern. The NDC’s efforts to address this issue reflect the party’s commitment to ensuring free and fair elections.
