The National Democratic Congress (NDC) leadership has urged the Electoral Commission to resolve any unresolved issues brought up after the Special Voting Exercise.
The behavior of several electoral officers and the reported use of readily cleaned indelible ink during the exercise were criticized by the party. It called on the Electoral Commission to address these problems prior to Saturday, December 7, election day.
To guarantee that the will of voters is protected, the NDC has urged security services to take decisive action and is advising its members to maintain their vigilance.
Addressing journalists in Kumasi on Thursday, November 5, 2024, the Ashanti Regional Communications Officer of the NDC, Abbas Nurudeen, stated: “Our ears and eyes are on the ground, and we are monitoring every move of some officials of the EC and their collaborators.
We call on all our teeming supporters in the Ashanti Region, sympathizers, and all those who yearn for change to come out in their numbers to vote massively for H.E. John Dramani Mahama and all NDC parliamentary candidates.”
“During the special voting, we realised that some of the indelible ink used by the EC are easily cleanable. Using an indelible ink that is cleanable creates the necessary environment for multiple voting and impersonation.
We raised this issue and the regional EC has given us a firm indication that all those cleanable indelible ink have been replaced. We sincerely hope whatever assurances he has given us are true On D-Day. We will not countenance the use of indelible ink that is cleanable,” he stressed.
