The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced that it will broadcast its meeting with the Electoral Commission (EC) regarding the 2024 provisional voters register live.
The EC declined the NDC’s request to broadcast the meeting live, but the NDC’s Director of Elections, Dr. Omane Boamah, stated that the party representatives attending the meeting would ensure that it is streamed live for public transparency.
He also cautioned the EC against any attempts to manipulate the upcoming election in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), warning that such actions would not be accepted.
The meeting is expected to discuss the provisional voters register, which is a list of eligible voters that is used to conduct elections. The NDC has raised concerns about the accuracy of the register, and has accused the EC of bias in favor of the NPP.
Below is Dr. Omane Boamah’s full post.
Why Should Electoral Commission of Ghana be Afraid of Live Coverage of Today’s Meeting with the NDC @ 2pm?
The Electoral Commission has refused to grant NDC’s request for live broadcast of our meeting with them today @ 2pm
We disagree with the EC and I have communicated same to them.
This deliberate refusal flies in the face of Transparency: Transparency is cardinal to the attainment of Free, Fair and Peaceful elections.
The EC can not escape public scrutiny and forensic audit of the voters register!
Meanwhile, we’ve all observed the LOUD SILENCE of the ruling NPP notwithstanding all these anomalies.
It cannot be lost on us that the NPP stands to benefit illegally from the overt and covert manipulation of the register and the electoral process.
Additionally, the palpable purchased silence from other previously loud-mouthed personalities and institutions that are supposed to call the EC to order is telling!
We are serving notice that the NDC will not tolerate the unfolding day light advance robbery/rigging of Election 2024 to materialise.
This being the case, at today’s meeting at the Corporate office of the EC near the National Cathedral, we shall also serve as the broadcast outlets in the meeting and after the meeting.
We shall not relent!
We shall not falter!!
We shall not rest!!!
