NDC condemns EC over breaches of electoral laws

Ashanti Regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has condemned the Electoral Commission over what they describe as breach of electoral laws in the ongoing voter exhibition exercise.

Addressing the press at the party’s headquarters in Kumasi on Friday, September 13, regional secretary, Kwame Zu stated that their observation indicates that the registers being exhibited at most centres are 2016 final registers which has already been exhibited citing Kwabre East Constituency as one area affected.

“Strangely at some exhibition centres across the region, some of the 2019 registrants have found their way unto the 2016 final register. A specific example is Kwabre East constituency”.

“Even with these lucky new registrants, you would find FO written against their names. We do not know whether Fo means family or friends only” he added.

The party has however called on the Electoral Commission to as a matter of urgency provide them a copy of the 2019 provisional voters’ register, make available Biometric Verification Devices to verify voters at the various exhibition centres and also exhibit the 2019 provisional voters’ register.
