Respected journalist and social commentator Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has raised doubts about the National Democratic Congress (NDC) demanding a forensic audit of the voters' register three months before the general elections. He questions what specific challenges the NDC has identified with the register to justify such an audit.

Mr. Baako believes that if the NDC were to disclose the details of what the audit would involve, it would provide more clarity on the situation. Otherwise, he sees the NDC's stance as oversimplified and based on questionable intellectualism.

He is uncertain about the effectiveness of any actions taken after the audit, considering the limited time available before the 2024 general elections.

He wrote, “Specificity! What is the scope and coverage of the independent forensic audit being demanded by the NDC? Have they made public the full complement of the specifics of their case for that demand?

"The issue of whether or not an audit, forensic or otherwise, is needed now cannot be reduced to an academic or intellectual exercise. That’s an exercise in oversimplification and absurd intellectualism, which amuses me! We’re dealing with realpolitik and statecraft. Does it make sense to embark on a certain FORENSIC AUDIT by an entity 3 months before an election?"
