The Electoral Commission (EC) on February 22, reassured the public and stakeholders that it would reveal the electoral calendar for 2024 by the close of February.
Addressing the concerns, Deputy Chair of the Commission, Dr. Bossman Asare, assured during an appearance before the Public Accounts Committee on Wednesday, February 21, that the EC will soon announce the electoral calendar for 2024.
“We will certainly disclose it [the calendar] before the end of February. It should be out by the end of this month [February],” Dr. Asare promised.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) had criticized the EC for not prioritizing the release of the electoral calendar, labelling their focus on other matters as “unproductive endeavors.”
Today is March 1, 2024, and the Electoral Commission has yet to release the 2024 election calendar.
Pressure keeps mounting on the Commission as Director of Elections and IT of the National Democratic Congress, Dr Edward Kofi Omane Boamah has once again called on the EC to halt its delay tactics as the country readies for its next poll.
