The National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) Director for Elections and IT, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has called on all political actors across the country to be extra vigilant as the Electoral Commission begins its Mop-Up voter registration exercise on Thursday, 1st August 2024.

Dr. Omane Boamah mentioned that the mop-up exercise, which is expected to last for three days, should be approached with tact and vigilance in order to clear any doubts ahead of the December 7 general elections.

According to the former communications minister, the call for heightened vigilance from the high echelons of the NDC is necessary because the current register, according to the NDC, is not fit for purpose, adding that the voters' register is sick.

Taking to his official Facebook page on Wednesday, July 30, 2024, Dr. Omane Boamah said, “NDC agents must also be vigilant because the EC is yet to report back to IPAC on the serious concerns regarding the EC's figures that the NDC raised at the last IPAC meeting: yet the EC is proceeding to commence another registration exercise.”

He added, “NDC agents must be extra vigilant because there are still stolen and un-retrieved Biometric Voter Registration laptops in the hands of criminals. Note that these Biometric Voter Registration laptops were stolen from the headquarters of the EC under CCTV surveillance.”

Dr. Omane Boamah accused the NPP of attempting to engage in gerrymandering during the voter registration exercise; hence, it is imperative that the opposition party becomes extra vigilant in order to avert any further attempt by the NPP to allegedly continue in the foiled gerrymandering.

"Take legitimate action to protect Ghana's democracy and fix Ghana's destroyed economy and Ghana's unprecedented unemployment in order to restore hope to Ghanaians by ensuring Change to reset Ghana.”

NDC Agents: Be Extra Vigilant During Mop-Up Voter Registration Exercise; As We Strive To Audit The Unfit for Purpose Voters Register

From tomorrow, Thursday, 1st August, to Saturday, 3rd August, all Ghanaians 18 years and above who are eligible to vote BUT NOT ALREADY REGISTERED AS VOTERS will be expected to register at the District offices of the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana.

According to the EC, the mop-up registration exercise will also be conducted in both 41 prison centers and 26 public universities.

Accordingly, we urge NDC agents and political actors across the country to be EXTRA VIGILANT throughout the three-day registration period.

This call for heightened vigilance from the high echelons of our great party is necessary because the current voters' register, which the EC states has 18,681,366 voters, is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE!

The voters' register is sick!

NDC agents must also be vigilant because the EC is yet to report back to IPAC on the serious concerns regarding the EC's figures that the NDC raised at the last IPAC meeting: yet the EC is proceeding to commence another registration exercise.

Additionally, NDC agents must be extra vigilant because there are still stolen and un-retrieved Biometric Voter Registration laptops in the hands of criminals.

Note that these Biometric Voter Registration laptops were stolen from the headquarters of the EC under CCTV surveillance.

Furthermore, NDC agents must be vigilant because the gerrymandering NPP could not achieve with the voter transfer exercise, they seek to secure in this mop-up exercise.

This also means marginally won or lost constituencies must take note and be vigilant.

We must watch out!

And take legitimate action to protect Ghana's democracy and fix Ghana's destroyed economy and Ghana's unprecedented unemployment in order to restore hope to Ghanaians by ensuring Change to reset Ghana.

To reset Ghana, the Electoral Commission must stop issuing mere assurances and act timeously to restore confidence in the electoral process.

Moreover, the Electoral Commission must accept the need to transparently audit the voters' register.

In addition, the Electoral Commission must answer the parts of the 35 questions we posed at IPAC about the stolen and missing Biometric Equipment, as they promised after consulting their lawyers, even if they're unable to answer all 35.

Furthermore, the security agencies must act professionally and extrude and shame the unprofessional NPP elements who seek to disturb the peace of Ghana using the security system.

This is because Ghana needs free, fair, transparent, and peaceful elections, that will also attract both local and foreign direct investments.

Ghana also needs a peaceful TRANSITION of power on January 07, 2025.

While we urge NDC agents and political actors to be extra vigilant from tomorrow, 1st August to Saturday, 3rd August 2024, in order to secure the sanctity of the mop-up Voter Registration Exercise, we also once again unconditionally demand a transparent audit of the entire voters' register!
