The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced its intent to thoroughly review the summary of the final certified voter register ahead of the upcoming general elections.
This summary was provided by the Electoral Commission (EC) in response to the NDC’s request for additional data, supplementing the final register already shared with political parties.
Speaking with Citi News, Dr. Rashid Tanko Computer, NDC’s Deputy Director of Elections and IT, voiced concerns over inconsistencies in the data, particularly pointing to unexplained removals of certain polling stations.
He stated that the NDC would closely examine the summary to ensure these discrepancies are addressed by the EC.
“We picked the register today with the summaries. So we are currently studying the register as a body and comparing that with their summaries. And then we also demanded their regional summaries because what they gave us was the national summary. It didn’t include the regional summaries.
“Well-intentioned, we will look at that. Their segregation of the special voters from the main register. I mean, this is an innovation they are just creating. Their statement indicated that they have collapsed some polling stations, which of course we are not aware.
“This is a new thing they have done. We have studied it. We will look at it. And then we think we will make our verdict clearer very soon.”
