Voter Register Row: NDC does not have evidence of  discrepancies, just propaganda - NPP

Accra, Ghana - The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has slammed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for failing to provide concrete evidence to support its allegations of a bloated voter register during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting convened by the Electoral Commission (EC).

The meeting, held at the Alisa Hotel in Accra on October 1, aimed to address concerns surrounding the 2024 voters' register.

The NDC has been vocal about its claims, citing ineligible voters and inaccuracies, which prompted a nationwide protest on September 17 demanding a forensic audit of the electoral roll.

However, according to NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua, the NDC missed a crucial opportunity to substantiate its claims during the IPAC meeting. 

“All of you [the media] were here. Tell me, all the presentations that were made by their [the NDC’s] reps, at what point in time did they even give us evidence? Did they give us the data that they turned out? None.''

“They started talking about propaganda matters, about a roof that is leaking and using the mop to clean it. Is that why we came here? We came here based on the several allegations that you have made. Why did you run away? Why is the NDC running away?,'' he stated.
