The Eminent Advisory Committee (EAC) of the Electoral Commission (EC) has urged political parties to support the EC in the compilation of the new voters' register to ensure smooth and transparent elections in December.

In a statement signed by Sylvia Annor, acting Director of Public Affairs of the EC, the group urged all political parties to, as a matter of national importance, assist the EC to discharge its electoral duties as enshrined in the national constitution.

“They advised all stakeholders to put Ghana first in all they do and continue to support the EC with suggestions and recommendations aimed at improving our electoral process,” the statement said.

The recent stance of the Committee would be a jolt on the National Democratic Congress and other groups that have vehemently opposed the compilation of the new register.
