The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has stated that if the Electoral Commission (EC) fails to allow a forensic audit of the voters' register, which the party deems flawed, and John Mahama wins the December 7 presidential election, he would not reject the results.
The NDC has raised concerns about the credibility of the voters' register ahead of the December 7 elections.
The party's Director of Elections and I.T., Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, claimed in a Facebook post that the current register is "unfit for purpose" and called for a forensic audit or thorough parliamentary investigation to address what he describes as "incurably defective" anomalies.
He said the NDC's diligence and scrutiny during the exhibition exercise revealed several issues with the register that, if not resolved, could jeopardize the credibility of the 2024 elections.
“The register compiled by the EC is unfit for purpose. Without a forensic audit or thorough parliamentary investigation of the EC's voter register, the register will remain incurably defective," he stated.
"Forget about adjudication! It's obvious the register has deliberately been tampered with!"
On September 23, 2024, the NDC met with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), labour unions, and religious leaders to push for a forensic audit of Ghana’s voter register after presenting its case on the need for the forensic audit of the voter register and the EC's IT system.
