The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Akwatia Constituency in the Eastern Region, Henry Boakye Yiadom, has registered his displeasure about how the Electoral Commission of Ghana is delaying the rectification of the errors in the voters register.
According to him, they have received a lot of reports from the various constituencies complaining of missing names in the voter register with other claims of illegal transfer of their credentials to different constituencies without their knowledge.
“The National Leadership of the National Democratic Congress has had a meeting with EC about the bloated register and has been assured of correcting those mistakes, but it has proven futile, and we can’t sit down alof to allow them to use inaccurate voter register for the December 7 polls,” he said.
The Member of Parliament for Akwatia told KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH during the NDC’s nationwide ‘Enough Is Enough’ demonstration against the Electoral Commission for alleged adding over 240,000 people’s names to the voter register.
Hundreds of individuals and NDC party faithful turned out for the demonstration that took place in Koforidua, the Capital Town of the Eastern Region, on Tuesday, September 17, 2024.
Boakye Yiadom further stated that it would be worrying that someone would go to the polling center on December 7 to cast his or her vote and the person would not find its name in the voter register, hence the NDC demand for the EC to allow an independent body to audit the register to enable the country to get credible voters’ register for the 2024 elections.
He then urged the EC to listen to what they were saying about the voter register and do the needful to ensure peaceful elections.
The Eastern Regional Director for the Electoral Commission, John Appiah Barfo received the petition letter and assured them of presenting it to the appropriate authorities
For his part, the National Youth Organizer for the party, George Opare Addo entreated President Akufo Addo to peacefully hand over the power to John Dramani Mahama because they are winning the 2024 election with ease.
