The Electoral Commission (EC) is accused by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of purposefully making voter registration difficult in its strongholds.
A minimum of 1.35 million people who turned 18 since the last voter registration drive in 2020 are expected to be registered as voters as a result of the continuing limited voter registration.
On Tuesday, September 12, the exercise officially began. It is anticipated to end on October 2, 2023.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the national chairman of the NDC, claimed during a press conference on the election on Tuesday night that the EC had purposefully sent broken voting equipment to several of its district offices in what it considered to be NDC strongholds in an effort to disenfranchise eligible voters.
“There is not more than two centres where these breakdowns are happening which are in the stronghold of the NPP. All the rest are in the stronghold of the NDC…It is like his excellency when he was complaining about politicking within the bar association which turns to campaign at the bar conference,” he said.
The NDC also chastised President Akufo-Addo for interjecting himself into the debate over purported judicial prejudice.
The President and the Judicial Service should instead concentrate on cleaning up the mess, according to Asiedu Nketiah.
“When people voice concerns about how justice is administered, the president has the guts to voice concerns about the complainers. Can’t you see what is going on when the same judiciary has time to issue restraining orders to those want to quickly protest corruption at the BoG?
And yet, he continued, “that same judicial system cannot find the time and space to grant such an important injunction against an exercise that is wrongly being conducted and has the potential to rock this nation.”
