Election 2024: Be patient, we’ll provide a credible voter register – EC tells NDC
The Electoral Commission (EC) has promised to conduct a thorough voter exhibition exercise and provide political parties with a credible register for the December elections.
This follows the National Democratic Congress (NDC) demand for the EC to immediately release the provisional voter register for the December 7 general elections ahead of the exhibition exercise.
Director of Elections for the NDC, Dr Boamah, in a post on Facebook, attributed the delay in the release of the register to the EC’s incompetence and a deliberate attempt to provide a sub-standard register to political parties.
Boamah warned that the delay has left the NDC and other stakeholders “deeply concerned that the posturing and incompetence of the EC and its IT Department can plunge Ghana into anarchy if not remedied immediately.”
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Wednesday, Dr Serebuor Quaicoe, Director of Training at the EC, refuted the claims and asked the NDC and other stakeholders to bear with them and help them go through the exhibition process to rectify all challenges.
He indicated that the political parties should expect the commission to provide a quality final register at the end of the exhibition exercise.
He said, “Why would we fight the same people who are going to help us do the work? We all know the quantum of work to be done…So, they should understand it and once we give it to them, they and the voters and everybody will help to contribute and by the time we finish the eight-day exhibition, we will identify all the challenges and rectify them.”
“They should all expect that when everything is done we will give them the final register. So, we will do good work and give them the final register which will be a quality register,” he stated.
