The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has reassured the public of the 2024 Voters Register’s robustness and credibility, urging people to disregard any dissenting claims.
In a statement posted on X on Wednesday, the Commission defended the integrity of the register and confirmed its preparedness for the upcoming elections.
This declaration follows concerns raised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) about alleged discrepancies in the register that they believe need addressing before the elections.
The NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has also called for the EC to rectify these issues. Speaking during a campaign event in Adjen Kotoku, Amasaman constituency, Mahama stressed the need for the EC to act swiftly to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
“A lot of people cannot find their names. Other people’s names have been transferred without their knowledge. People have registered for a proxy without using their biometric cards. People who have done multiple registrations their names are still on the register,” he stated.
However, the EC noted that “The 2024 Voters Register is robust and credible. ignore assertions that the voters Register is not fit for the 2024 Elections.”
