NPP Slams NDC Over Failure to produce evidence on ‘faulty’ voter register claim

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has criticised the National Democratic (NDC) over its recent ‘Enough is Enough’ demonstration against the Electoral Commission (EC) describing it as unjustified due to their failure to provide evidence of irregularities in the provisional voters’ register.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Thursday September 19, 2024, General Secretary of the party, Justin Kodua Frimpong said the NDC has still not submitted any evidence concerning the alleged discrepancies or irregularities in the voters’ register.

“Many Ghanaians and the NPP cannot comprehend why the NDC has not submitted to the EC detailed information of its so-called irregularities, discrepancies, and unauthorised entries in the provisional voters’ register despite several appeals by the EC.

“For instance, on page two of their petition to the EC, the NDC stated emphatically that they have uncovered evidence of 243,540 illegal transfers, 3,957 deleted names, as well as over 15,000 unidentified voter transfer cards in the provisional register. ”

“Yet 13 days after the NDC first met the EC on September 6, 2024, they have still not provided a single document to authenticate any of these allegations. We ask, is this not interesting?”

“Indeed, if the NDC has any evidence of illegal transfers, why have they not submitted evidence of such an illegality to be reversed by the EC?

“We believe strongly that the nationwide demonstration by the NDC would have been justified had the EC failed to act after receiving evidence from the NDC on the alleged irregularities and discrepancies,” he stated.
