Ghana’s Electoral Commission has debunked claims by the National Democratic Congress that the Voters Register is not credible.
It has asked Ghanaians to ignore the falsehood being put out by the opposition NDC because the document is fit for purpose.
This comes on the back of the NDC’s calls for a forensic audit of the document over claims that it has been tampered with.
It will be remembered that Dr Edward Omane Boamah who is the Director of IT for the opposition NDC in a post on social media said that the NDC has petitioned parliament to investigate the commission over the voters register.
He said if parliament fails, they will pressurize International bodies, among others, to ensure that a forensic audit is done.
His post shared via social media read:
Fellow Ghanaians,
Without a forensic audit or parliamentary investigation of the voters register, the register remains incurably defective.
——————————————————————
The Electoral Commission of Ghana refused to release the voters’ register to the NDC on time ahead of the exhibition exercise.
But with hard work, dedication, and patriotic zeal, the NDC across the country has proven that the register compiled by the EC is unfit for purpose.
Without a forensic audit or thorough parliamentary investigation of the EC’s voters register, the register will remain incurably defective.
Forget about adjudication!!!
It’s obvious the register has deliberately been tampered with!
They did not expect such thorough scrutiny that has unveiled the mountains of anomalies.
The exhibition exercise has revealed avoidable problems, which, if not resolved, can jeopardize the outcome of the 2024 elections.
Constituency by constituency (based on polling stations) reports have revealed avoidable mistakes under the following headings:
1. Registered voters whose names are missing.
2. Qualified voters who are placed on the Exception list or the Multiple List.
3. Disqualified people due to multiple registrations or successful challenges who are still on the Main Provisional Voters Register (PVR).
4. People who have been transferred without their knowledge in addition to Old Transfers that are still appearing on the register.
5. People who have been moved from one polling station to another polling station.
Let me also add the awkward process that allowed voters to apply for proxy earlier this year without their biometrics being checked 
As contained in the uploaded petition, the Parliament of Ghana must investigate the Electoral Commission.
If Parliament fails, Ghanaians together with the international community, must exert enough pressure on the EC to permit forensic audit of their system, including the register.
Keep in mind that the theft of Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) laptops under CCTV surveillance at the headquarters of the EC remains unresolved. Similar to the missing/stolen Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs)…

Thank you.
