The deputy campaign director of the opposition Democratic National Congress (NDC), Alex Segbefia, insists that the Electoral Commission (EC) deliberately omitted some names from the voter registry.
This is so despite the fact that the EC clarified that it had been transparent with the data from the voter registration exercise in which 16.9 million people registered to vote.
Mr Segebefia at Citi TV’s / FM’s The big problem he refused to accept that the omissions were errors.
He said the EC had been dishonest in refusing to admit that there were anomalies in the new registry.
“In Ashaiman, the surveillance of our MP ensured the detection of the omission of 21 thousand names in the registry, including that of the MP. The worst part is that when the attention of the EC was caught, instead of raising their arms and saying this is a bug or a problem we are dealing with, they turned around, changed the record, and brought in a new record. They never admitted that 21,000 names were missing. It was a dishonest act. It wasn’t a mistake, it was deliberate. ”
NDC Elections Director Elvis Afriyie Ankrah had previously indicated that the party had detailed reports to back up claims that the EC deliberately erased the names of registered voters from the register.
This was after Ashaiman’s Member of Parliament Ernest Henry Norgbey alleged that the names of some 21,000 potential voters, including his own, had been omitted from the constituency register.
However, the EC refuted this claim, insisting that it had provided “factual, accurate and evidence-based information to interested parties on voter statistics by region, district, gender, age, among others.”
Therefore, he said it would be “a paradox to suggest that the same Commission now seeks to remove people from the voter registry.”
