The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ajumako Enyan Essiem constituency has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of conniving with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to bloat the voters’ register in the area.
The Ajumako NDC accused the EC of illegally putting over 3,000 names on the register and is demanding an explanation as to how those names made their way onto the register.
Speaking at a press conference in Ajumako on Wednesday, August 28, the Communications Officer for the NDC, Galahad Alex Andoh said they will resist attempts by the EC to rig the elections.
“That particular register given to us by our party and that given to us by the EC has some anomalies. When we collated it we noticed the difference. The register has been bloated by an excess of over 3017 that were unlawfully transferred onto our register.
“We need an explanation at the Electoral Commission as to why the voters register presented to the NDC leadership in Accra is different from what they use in the voter exhibition exercise. We can see clearly that the Electoral Commission is bent on rigging the election for the New Patriotic Party and we will do everything to ensure that the will of the people is accounted for. If our demands are not met we will besiege the EC office with a lawful demonstration.”
Constituency chairman of the NDC in Ajumako Enyan Essiem Professor Jonathan Annan said the party will do everything within its means to ensure that the register is scrutinised while calling on all NDC PCs and executives across the region to carefully scrutinize their voter registers.
“We will ensure that the register is not bloated. We are using this medium to caution all NDC PCs and executives to carefully scrutinise their respective registers because it is clear this current EC cannot be trusted.” Professor Annan said.
