Deputy Chairperson of the Campaign Team for NPP Flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has criticized the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) for inaccuracies in the ongoing Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise.
Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo Morning show on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, Akomea expressed concern over the EC’s struggle with basic arithmetic.
He recalled the EC’s miscalculation of figures during the 2020 presidential election, which led to multiple announcements of results and caused significant issues.
“The Electoral Commission getting it wrong in adding 1 and 1 is not acceptable, and they have to look at it.
“During the 2020 election, they did the same thing, and they announced election results about two times. It is disgusting; it doesn’t help,” he said in Twi.
Mr Akomea, also the Managing Director of Intercity STC Coaches Limited, argued against the appointment of EC commissioners by any political party members.
He noted that both the NPP and NDC have done this when in power, which he believes is detrimental.
He proposed amending the law to prevent the president from appointing EC commissioners, suggesting this would enhance fairness.
