Head Pastor of Open Arms Ministries Chapel, Apostle Kofi Nkansah, has supported demands by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for a forensic audit of the voter register.
Speaking at a press conference in Kumasi, Apostle Nkansah urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to allow for a thorough audit of the register, stating that transparency and accountability are essential in the electoral process.
"If you are not hiding anything, why resist a forensic audit?" Apostle Nkansah quizzed.
"As a man of God, I believe that honesty and integrity are essential in all aspects of life, including our electoral process. A forensic audit will help to build trust and confidence in the system, and I urge the EC to cooperate with the NDC's request."
Apostle Nkansah's comments come on the heels of the NDC's allegations that the voter register is bloated and compromised, with multiple registrations and fake identities. The opposition party has been calling for a forensic audit to verify the authenticity of the register, but the EC has so far resisted the demand.
The Head Pastor of Open Arms Ministries Chapel emphasized that the integrity of the electoral process is crucial for the country's democracy.
"As a nation, we must ensure that our elections are free, fair, and transparent. Any attempt to manipulate the system or hide behind secrecy will undermine our democracy and erode trust in our institutions," he warned.
The controversy over the voter register has been a major talking point in recent weeks, with the NDC accusing the EC of attempting to rig the 2024 general elections.
The EC has denied the allegations, but the opposition party insists the register is compromised.
As the debate continues, Apostle Nkansah's call for transparency and accountability is likely to add pressure on the EC to reconsider its stance on the forensic audit.
