Dr Omane Boamah, Director of Elections and IT, National Democratic Congress (NDC) says the actions of the Electoral Commission (EC) has eroded every last bit of trust the Party has in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Electoral Commission has eroded the last atom of trust that we had in them. Credibility-wise, reliability-wise, and even self-interestedness. It\u2019s sad that the EC is demonstrating to Ghanaians that they have something to hide,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Boamah said this on Saturday during a discussion on an Accra-based television programme.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The NDC is set to embark on a nationwide demonstration against the EC on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, to demand an independent forensic audit of the Information Technology systems of the EC to ensure that the voters\u2019 register is robust and credible ahead of the December 7 General Election.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The protest is scheduled to commence at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, through to Parliament House, and end at the Head Office of the EC, where the leadership of the NDC would present a petition to the Commission.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The NDC said a scrutiny of the voters register revealed that a total of 243,540 previous transfers had been added to the 2024 transfers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It also discovered 15,000 plus unidentifiable voter transfer paths; 3,957 voters in 2023 register who were completely missing from the 2024 register.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The NDC also found 2,000 unidentified voters who had been registered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the last but not least is the corrupt files. Where you open the file, you don\u2019t find the photo, you don\u2019t find the name, you don\u2019t find the age,\u201d Dr Boamah said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said behind the forensic audit, the EC, after effecting the necessary corrections, should organise a re-exhibition exercise of the voters register.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Boamah urged all Ghanaians to come out in their numbers on Tuesday to support the NDC in its quest to demand transparency from the EC.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On his part, Dr Bossman Asare, Deputy Chairman, Corporate Services of the Electoral Commission (EC) refuted the NDC\u2019s claims that the EC was hiding anything from Ghanaians.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said the EC had addressed all concerns raised so far and urged the NDC to present evidence to support their allegations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can say without a shadow of doubt that all the concerns the NDC has raised, the Commission strongly believes that we have addressed them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the exhibition exercise is meant to do corrections. And we\u2019ve called the NDC repeatedly that the evidence you claim you have, give them to us. Once you bring them to us, we\u2019ll process it, because we know we have done everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Bossman said the best way to address NDC\u2019s concerns was for them to come to the discussion table with the EC.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not trying to say the Commission is perfect. Neither am I trying to say we are angelic in the way we do our work. Definitely, because you are dealing with human-based numbers, some people\u2019s pictures may not be captured properly. Once you still have concerns, you come to us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 And we\u2019ve got to make sure that we have a register that is credible, that is robust, that is inclusive. They seem to be exaggerating problems in the register which are non-existent. They are misleading people with issues that are non-existent,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
