The Electoral Commission (EC) has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of misinforming its members about the discrepancies in the provisional voter register.
Speaking on Saturday, September 14, Deputy Chairperson of the EC in charge of Corporate Affairs, Dr Bossman Asare, said NDC has blown non-existent errors in the register out of proportion.
“We at the Electoral Commission think that the NDC leadership who have taken the route of demonstration is misinforming their people. They seem to be exaggerating problems in the register which are non-existent.
“The Commission has made it very clear openly to the NDC, openly to the good people of Ghana, international partners that we have a register that is robust, that is credible,” he said.
Dr Asare reiterated that all the issues the NDC raised about the register have been addressed by the EC.

“We were trying to make the point that even in the 2016 register, there were more problems than what we are talking about now but the NDC didn’t raise any serious issues then.
“And we think that the issues they are raising now, they are problems we have addressed and the Electoral Commission is saying that we have addressed and we are inviting them to the discussion table. We can do so with all the political parties,” Dr Asare stated in a discussion on Joy News.
He expressed the commission’s commitment to resolve any lingering issues with the NDC so that all parties can go into the December 7 polls with confidence in the voter register.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the NDC has announced a nationwide demonstration against the EC over their supposedly nonchalant handling of their concerns regarding the register.
The party has urged all its members to march to all 16 EC regional offices to register their displeasure.
