The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the Asantehene, His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the National Peace Council, clergy, and all concerned Ghanaians to urge the Electoral Commission (EC) to conduct an independent forensic audit of the voters’ register.
The party claims that the register contains numerous discrepancies that could undermine the integrity of the upcoming elections.
The NDC argues that credible elections cannot be guaranteed if the voters’ register remains flawed.
George Opare Addo, the National Youth Organizer of the NDC, made these comments following a demonstration on Tuesday.
He noted that the presentation of a petition by the Eastern Regional Chairman of the party to the regional EC office highlighted the urgency of this issue.
According to Addo, this is a crucial moment for advocates of peace to press the EC for a thorough audit of the voters’ register.
“To the peace-loving Ghanaians, the chiefs of this country, the Otumfuo, and the many others who want to see a better Ghana. It is their call to duty. The Police Service, it is also your responsibility to see to it that the right things are done.
“The Peace Council, don’t let us sound like a broken record. We are asking all of you that an audit is the rightful thing to do,” he stated.
