NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register.

Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity.

"The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged.

The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP.

In response, the EC acknowledged the need for corrections, including omitted names, objections to unqualified voters, removal of deceased individuals, replacement of damaged voter ID cards, and corrections to registration details due to clerical errors.

Dr. Worlanyo urged the EC to remain impartial and focused on addressing these issues. "The EC must ignore the noise from these two parties and find a credible solution to the problems they've created."

The controversy has sparked concerns about Ghana's electoral process and the need for transparency and accountability.
