The Director of Elections and IT for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Edward Omane Boamah says the party will assist the Electoral Commission (EC) to resolve its frequent network breakdowns in readiness for the 2024 general elections.
According to the former Communications Minister, this action will be done with a "patriotic zeal” for immediate remedy.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, October 11, Dr Omane Boamah says the network breakdowns that occurred during the 2023 limited voters’ registration exercise will not be tolerated.
He said any assistance the NDC can offer the EC to ensure that Ghanaians vote in their numbers without any hindrance will be offered.
“Moreover, we're pursuing the root cause(s) of the regularly irregular breakdown of the EC's network system.”
“Because we strongly believe these "network breķdowns" pose a major threat to our democracy if allowed to recur during elections 2024. We shall, with patriotic zeal, assist the EC to troubleshoot the problem(s) for immediate remedy.”
In the said post, Dr Omane Boamah added that the EC failed to achieve its target for the limited voters’ registration exercise.
He thus advised the EC not to be intransigent on issues concerning the 2024 elections.
“It is a notorious fact that the EC failed woefully to meet its own originally set target of registering over 1.3 million Ghanaians because of the decision to restrict registration to only the District Offices of the EC.”
“Again, data from the registration exercise proved that the Guarantor system remains a vital identifier for many a Ghanaian; thus cannot be scrapped anytime soon by any new Constitutional Instrument.”
