The Director of Elections for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Evans Nimako, says the opposition National Democratic Congress's (NDC) stance regarding the credibility of the voter register proves that the party is not ready for the upcoming polls.
According to him, the party’s demand for a forensic audit of the register was merely an excuse to cover their unpreparedness for the elections.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story on September 6, Mr Nimako argued that in their opinion the register was credible and could be used to carry out free and fair elections.
“The revised strategy of the NDC will not work for them. They will not set the agenda. Let me ask, what numbers are they talking about that their issue was in this provisional register, which warrants a forensic audit before going into an election?
"You know what this tells me? The NDC is not ready for the elections ahead," he said.
Mr. Nimako argued that the party’s demand for a forensic audit was insufficient.
His comments come on the back of concerns raised by the NDC regarding the voter register exhibition, alleging that it had been tampered with. According to them, the voter register is riddled with irregularities and flaws, which the Electoral Commission (EC) has already admitted.
Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday, September 3, the Minority Leader asserted that the NDC cannot vouch for the integrity of the voter register and suggested a forensic audit.
However, after an IPAC meeting, the EC rejected the call for an independent audit.
According to the Director of Elections and IT for the party, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah the EC appears unwilling to open its books to scrutiny by anyone, and they are therefore not surprised by the Commission’s stance.
