The Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, says the Electoral Commission (EC) has not agreed to its demands to conduct a forensic audit of the voter register.
According to him, the EC appears unwilling to open its books to scrutiny by anyone, and they are therefore not surprised by the Commission’s stance.
Speaking to the press after the Inter-Party Advisory Committee on September 6, he said “They have not accepted the independent forensic audit expectedly."
"It is not all doctors who readily refer, it is not all workers who readily when issues are above them refer, some of them wait until bridges collapse. Some of them wait until patients are on the verge of dying before they push them. We would have loved that the Electoral Commission accepted this.”
Mr. Boamah explained that a forensic audit would reassure Ghanaians of the EC's ability to conduct free and fair elections.
On September 10, the Minority in Parliament raised concerns about 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.
As such, they cannot vouch for the integrity of the voter register, reiterating the stance of the opposition NDC for a forensic audit of the register.
