The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called upon key stakeholders in Ghana, including the Asantehene, clergy, the National Peace Council, and concerned citizens, to urge the Electoral Commission (EC) to conduct an independent forensic audit of the voters’ register.
The NDC has raised concerns about numerous discrepancies in the register that could potentially compromise the integrity of the upcoming December 7 elections.
During a demonstration on Tuesday, the National Youth Organizer of the NDC, George Opare Addo, noted the need for a credible electoral process, stating that without an accurate voters’ register, the promise of fair elections remains uncertain.
He stated the importance of a thorough audit of the register, following a petition presented by the Eastern Regional Chairman of the party to the regional EC office.
George Addo stressed that it is a critical moment for advocates of peace to push for transparency and accountability from the EC.
He called upon the Asantehene, clergy, and other influential figures in Ghana to fulfill their duty in ensuring a fair electoral process.
He also urged the Police Service to uphold their responsibility in ensuring that the right procedures are followed.
