The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has asked the Electoral Commission (EC) in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam Constituency of the Central Region, to delete names of 3,017 non-resident it had secretly added to the constituency’s voter list.
During a press briefing, Prof. Jonathan Annan, Chairman of the NDC in Ajumako Enyan Essiam, pointed out that there were inconsistencies between the voter data provided by the EC and the NDC’s records.
He claimed that 3,868 voters originally from Ajumako Enyan Essiam had been relocated to another constituency, and that 829 names were missing from the voter list.
Prof. Annan accused the EC, with support from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), of trying to influence the upcoming elections in the constituency.
“The NDC in Ajumako Enyan Essiam is demanding that the Electoral Commission immediately delete all names registered secretly in the voters’ register,” he stated.
The NDC has issued a five-day deadline for the EC to remove the so-called “foreign names” from the voter list or face protests.
In media interviews, some NDC members voiced their resolve to oppose any efforts by the EC and the NPP to sway the election results.
They pledged to defend the integrity of the voting process and warned those allegedly responsible for the secret transfers to correct the issue or face repercussions.
“We are focused on winning the upcoming December General Elections with Ato Forson and John Dramani Mahama,” they added.
