NDC FOLLOWS UP ON ITS PETITION TO THE EC, DEMANDING A FORENSIC AUDIT OF THE VOTERS’ REGISTER AND ITS IT SYSTEM
HENRY GERCHI
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is taking a strong stance on ensuring the integrity of Ghana's upcoming elections. They've submitted a follow-up letter to the Electoral Commission (EC), reiterating their demand for a forensic audit of the 2024 voters' register and its IT system. This move comes after their initial petition on September 17, 2024, was met with silence from the EC.
The NDC's General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, emphasized the critical importance of a credible voters' register for the December 7 elections. They're seeking to identify vulnerabilities and address anomalies in the electoral roll and its IT system. Asiedu Nketia, NDC Chairman, warned that failure to address these concerns could compromise the election's credibility.
Key Points of the NDC's Petition:
• Forensic Audit: A comprehensive audit of the voters' register and IT system to ensure credibility and transparency.
• Electoral Integrity: Addressing anomalies and vulnerabilities to prevent potential manipulation.
• Credibility: Ensuring the EC's response to address concerns and maintain public trust.
The NDC's persistence highlights their commitment to safeguarding Ghana's democratic process. Will the EC respond to their demands this time around?
