There is a scheduled Interparty Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Wednesday, September 18 where the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is expected to present all their concerns with the voter register, Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Dr Ernest Adu Gyamfi has said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Ernest Adu Gyamfi asked the NDC to agree to engage the commission on their concerns rather than put out their grievances in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the most important thing is to go to the discussion table and put out the issues there, just putting them in the public domain does not solve any problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added \u201cLet them finish the clean-up, if they finish the clean-up and then we realise that there are still errors, I think that everybody in this country will agree with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf errors have been identified, we believe that the best forum is to present those errors, get them corrected and then we can go back to look at what the correction is. Where are we? Have we corrected all the issues and the challenges we have? If it is not? Then we look at the way forward. \u201cBut if we have not done the correction and we are calling for an audit, then I\u2019m wondering what else we may identify because we need to find those errors now, clean-up and we can move forward,\u201d he said on Monday, September 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NDC is organizing the \u201cEnough is Enough\u201d demonstration nationwide today, Tuesday, September 17 to protest the commissions\u2019 refusal to conduct a forensic audit into the voters\u2019 register as they demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Electoral Commission had turned down a request from the NDC for an independent forensic audit of the provisional voters\u2019 register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rejection came after a closed-door meeting between the EC and the opposition party, following concerns raised by the NDC regarding alleged discrepancies in the voter roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, Director of Elections for the NDC, expressed disappointment, emphasizing that a forensic audit would be essential in restoring confidence in the electoral process. \u201cThey have not accepted the independent forensic audit request,\u201d Dr. Boamah stated after the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NDC has been vocal about their concerns, particularly regarding what they describe as the extent of manipulation in the voter transfer system. They argue that the provisional register contains illegal transfers that could potentially undermine the fairness of the upcoming 2024 elections. The party has called for transparency, requesting the involvement of independent experts in auditing the voter list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
