The Electoral Commission (EC) has invited political parties to a crucial IPAC meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, 1st October 2024, to discuss the 2024 voters register.
In the interest of the general public and Ghanaian voters, following the contestations between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Electoral Commission over the 2024 voters register, the EC must allow the media to provide live coverage of the proceedings at the IPAC meeting.
The live broadcast will provide Ghanaians with real-time and unbiased information on the state of the 2024 voters register after the EC’s so-called self-audit or autocorrection of their avoidable (criminal) errors and mistakes.
Additionally, this live media coverage will also completely eliminate the possibility of misinformation and misrepresentation after the IPAC meeting.
Let me emphasise that the NDC’s demand for a forensic audit of the register AND its IT system can not be comprehensively addressed at IPAC.
The truth is, #EAGLEEYES intercepted information shows as at yesterday, the Electoral Commission was still struggling to resolve voters whose names are still missing from the voters register. The problem is more than meets the eye.
Until the criminals who deliberately manipulated voters’ data for electoral gain are identified and smoked out, the same errors can recur before December 07, 2024.
Such data manipulation can lead to BVDs not being able to verify some selected voters even if their names are on hard copies of the voters’ register.
You’ll hear from the NDC soon…
