The 2024 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama is urging the Electoral Commission to expedite the release of the provisional voter's register before the upcoming exhibition exercise.
According to him, the Commission had requested political parties to submit their external drives for the register back in July but has not yet provided it.
Earlier, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Director of Elections, Dr Omane Boamah, also called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to release the provisional voter register for the upcoming December 7 general elections to all political parties before the exhibition exercise begins.
Dr Boamah expressed concerns about the EC's handling of the process, accusing the Commission of delaying the register's release.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, August 14, Dr Boamah criticized the EC for what he described as incompetence, alleging that the delay was a deliberate attempt to provide political parties with a substandard register.
During the final day of his campaign tour in the Volta Region, Mr Mahama emphasised that as of the evening of August 16, 2024, political parties were still waiting for the register.
“The exhibition of the register starts in four days. We should have received those provisional registers by now so that we can help our members check if their names are there. They have asked us to come today for the hard drives with the provisional register. I am calling on the Electoral Commission to make sure that we get the hard drives with the provisional register today so that we can send them to the constituencies and let our executives start helping our people to check and make sure their names are there.”
