Nana Obiri Boahen is Deputy Secretary General of the PNP
The undersecretary general of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahene, has said that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is exaggerating the disparities in the display of the voter registration.
Elections Director for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, has criticized the Ghana Election Commission (EC) for conducting the eight-day voter screening exercise.
He said that this duration is regrettably insufficient for an exercise so important that it is part of the preparation for this year’s elections.
The EC began the exhibition exercise on Friday, September 18 and is expected to end on Friday, September 25, before the December 7 elections.
“The NDC wishes to emphatically affirm that since the early days of the Fourth Republic, our otherwise respected EC presents the people of Ghana with such an anemic and poorly formed record for important elections.
“While we present you with impeccable evidence of anomalies in the provisional register, we will encourage Ghanaians to visit the exhibition centers to see for themselves the mess created by the CE led by Jean Mensa and Bossman Asare,” said Elvis Afriyie Ankrah in a press release.
Citing Ashaiman Member of Parliament Ernest Norgbey, whose name was allegedly dropped from the 2020 provisional voter register and found in another register later, Nana Obiri Boahene said the act was aimed at making the EC unpopular.
“Let me put this on record and repeat that the PNP as a party does not need the support of the EC to win the elections. That will never happen. The trajectory of the PP from the 1950s to date speaks for us ”, he added.
