The Electoral Commission (EC) has rejected the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) request for a forensic audit of the voter register.
This was disclosed by the NDC’s Director of Elections, Dr. Omane Boamah, following an emergency meeting with the EC on Friday, September 6, 2024.
The NDC called for the meeting after identifying what it described as widespread discrepancies in the voter register during the recent exhibition exercise.
“…They have not accepted the independent forensic audit, expectedly. It’s not all doctors who readily refer. It’s not all workers who readily when issues are above them, refer.
“Some of them wait until bridges collapse. Some of them wait until patients are even on the verge of dying before they push them. You would have loved that the electoral commission accepted this. Unfortunately, the Electoral Commission did not.
“However, it doesn’t take away the fact that a forensic audit is what it will take to assure Ghanaians because we have listed these problems,” Dr Omane Boamah said after the meeting with the EC.
