The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to maintain transparency and fairness in the December 7 general elections.
They emphasized the importance of impartiality as mandated by law.
The Bishops also called on the EC to facilitate open communication with all stakeholders and to address any electoral concerns promptly and transparently.
“We trust that the Electoral Commission will uphold its mandate with transparency and fairness.
It is essential that all electoral processes are conducted impartially and in accordance with the law,” stated Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, the Bishops’ national president, in a special address ahead of the elections.
The Electoral Commission has faced scrutiny following the release of the provisional voters register.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) raised concerns about discrepancies in the register and requested a meeting with the EC to address these issues.
However, their request for a live broadcast of the meeting was denied.
