The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has stated that it has compiled its own register with details of persons who have been omitted from the voters’ register.
Speaking to Citi News on Tuesday, the Director of Elections for the NDC, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah noted that the party won’t fall for the deceit of the Electoral Commission. He noted that they’ll meet with the party’s flagbearer to know the necessary step to take.
“When you have an EC that did not meet with political parties before the exhibition exercise and when you have a register that has been badly compiled, with tens of thousands of names missing from the register, there is no point in being out on the field campaigning. We are going to present him [Mahama] with detailed reports. We have detailed reports from every single region. We will meet with our flagbearer and decide on the next course of action.”
He continued: “What they [EC] don’t know is that we have generated our own register. We put together daily reports from the registration exercise. In any case, when the [Ashaiman] MP went to check his name on the register, wasn’t the EC there? Did they object then that his name was not in the register? It does not make sense. Why will an MP go to a registration centre, EC officials are there, his name is in the register, and he says his name is not on the register? The EC subsequently picked the MP’s name and picture and published it.
