The Director of Electoral Services at the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, has emphasized that the EC does not harbor any animosity towards the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He noted that the NDC, being a key stakeholder in Ghana’s elections, frequently raises concerns when it perceives issues in electoral processes and procedures.
In an interview on JoyNews Pulse on May 24, Dr. Quaicoe explained that once the EC addresses these concerns, the NDC moves past them and continues to engage constructively.
He highlighted that such interactions are typical for political parties and should not be seen as personal attacks on individuals within the EC.
“I want to put on record that the Electoral Commission and the NDC, we are not enemies. When you come and meet some of them, we all attended the same schools and we are nice….
“Normally, they will come and make the allegations and we will come and refute them. Once we refute them, it ends the case. I believe some of them maybe, they don’t understand how the system works, that is why they will make those allegations but we are not enemies with them,” he said.
For weeks, the NDC and the EC have been engaged in intense exchanges over the NDC’s allegations of the theft of several Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) devices from the Commission’s offices.
Initially, the EC denied these allegations but later admitted, albeit reluctantly, that some equipment was indeed missing.
Despite this, the Commission assured the public that the incident would not impact the upcoming polls in any way.
