The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Justin Kodua, has disclosed that if the Electoral Commission, (EC) allows an independent forensic audit into the 2024 provisional voters register as demanded by the opposition, the National Democratic Congress, the NPP will also take to the streets to protest.

A post shared on his official X page on Thursday, September 19, 2024, read “If the EC accepts the position of the NDC, the NPP will also hit the streets."

On Tuesday, September 17, 2024, the NDC held a nationwide protest dubbed 'Enough is Enough Demo' against the EC to demand that the electoral body audit the provisional voter's register for the December 2024 election.

The party claims that the register has a lot of irregularities and cannot guarantee a free and fair election, although the Commission disagrees with this position.

"The irregularities in the Provisional Voters Register (PVR) are not minor oversights or clerical errors; they indicate a deliberate manipulation of the voter database.

"These irregularities pose a significant and immediate threat to the credibility of the 2024 General Elections. We demand that the Commission takes swift action to preserve the integrity of Ghana's democratic process and ensure the stability and security of the nation," the NDC stated in its petition.

The NDC said it has found more than 243,000 unauthorised voter transfers and that the transfers were made without the knowledge and consent of the affected voters and therefore, raised significant questions about who approved them and what role EC officials may have played in facilitating such changes.
