The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has emphasized its commitment to closely observe the ongoing limited voter registration process, even in the midst of its legal action against the Electoral Commission (EC).
On Tuesday, September 12, the NDC lodged allegations against the Electoral Commission, asserting that the voter registration process was intentionally made challenging in areas where the party enjoys significant support.
The ongoing limited voter registration aims to register more than 1.3 million individuals who have reached the age of 18 since the previous registration exercise in 2020.
The 21-day registration initiative commenced on Tuesday, September 12, with a planned conclusion on October 2.
During a press briefing, the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, asserted that party members are committed to overseeing the exercise to prevent any potential manipulation by the Electoral Commission.
“We are ready, very ready but we care for the poor registrants who must cater for the costs and constraints of being registered to vote. We currently have our agents and officers in all 268 district offices of the Electoral Commission countrywide and we are keenly and actively monitoring the process.
“We will ensure that the manipulation of the EC and the NPP to rig the process are defeated and defeated soundly.”
The NDC has accused the Electoral Commission of manipulation in the limited voter registration, warning that failure to call the EC to order could lead to severe consequences.
