The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has insisted to livestream its forthcoming meeting with the Electoral Commission (EC) regarding the 2024 provisional voters register, despite the EC’s refusal to allow the broadcast.
The NDC first requested a meeting with the EC on August 27 to discuss alleged inconsistencies in the voter register.
On September 5, they followed up with a request to have the meeting, scheduled for September 6, streamed live. The EC, however, declined this request.
The NDC’s Director of Elections, Dr. Omane Boamah, took to Facebook to confirm that party representatives will ensure the meeting is streamed live to promote transparency.
Dr. Boamah also issued a warning to the EC against any attempts to manipulate the election in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stating such actions would be unacceptable. He further criticized the NPP for its “LOUD SILENCE” regarding the reported issues with the provisional voters register.
Below is Dr. Omane Boamah’s full post
Why Should Electoral Commission of Ghana be Afraid of Live Coverage of Today’s Meeting with the NDC @ 2pm?
———————————————————————
The Electoral Commission has refused to grant NDC’s request for live broadcast of our meeting with them today @ 2pm.
We disagree with the EC and I have communicated same to them.
This deliberate refusal flies in the face of Transparency: Transparency is cardinal to the attainment of Free, Fair and Peaceful elections.
The EC can not escape public scrutiny and forensic audit of the voters register!
Meanwhile, we’ve all observed the LOUD SILENCE of the ruling NPP notwithstanding all these anomalies.
It cannot be lost on us that the NPP stands to benefit illegally from the overt and covert manipulation of the register and the electoral process.
Additionally, the palpable purchased silence from other previously loud-mouthed personalities and institutions that are supposed to call the EC to order is telling!
We are serving notice that the NDC will not tolerate the unfolding day light advance robbery/rigging of Election 2024 to materialise.
This being the case, at today’s meeting at the Corporate office of the EC near the National Cathedral, we shall also serve as the broadcast outlets in the meeting and after the meeting.
We shall not relent!
We shall not falter!!
We shall not rest!!!
