The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called for a forensic audit or parliamentary investigation of the voter register.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of Elections and IT for the main opposition party, Dr. Edward Omane-Boamah on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 said that without a forensic audit or parliamentary investigation of the voters register, the register remains incurably defective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Electoral Commission of Ghana refused to release the voters\u2019 register to the NDC on time ahead of the exhibition exercise,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Electoral Commission began the exhibition of voters\u2019 register last week for electorates to crosscheck their details if there were any corrections that needed to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the exercise, the NDC had called for the voters\u2019 register to be released to them to allow their agents make a comparison with what was given them and what the Commission was exhibiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the full register was made available to the parties a day to the exercise, aside from the daily updates that were supplied to them during the voter registration exercise and the mop up that followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exercise began on August 22 and ended on Tuesday, August 27 with a very low turnout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Dr Omane Boamah said that \u201cIt\u2019s obvious the register has deliberately been tampered with!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellow Ghanaians,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a forensic audit or parliamentary investigation of the voters register, the register remains incurably defective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Electoral Commission of Ghana refused to release the voters\u2019 register to the NDC on time ahead of the exhibition exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with hard work, dedication, and patriotic zeal, the NDC across the country has proven that the register compiled by the EC is unfit for purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a forensic audit or thorough parliamentary investigation\u00a0\u00a0of the EC\u2019s voters register, the register will remain incurably defective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
