The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority in Parliament has raised concerns about the voters register exhibition, alleging that it has been tampered with.
According to them, the voters register has been riddled with irregularities and flaws which the Electoral Commission (EC) has already admitted.
In a news statement shared with The High Street Journal indicated that Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, Minority Leader in Parliament, asserted that the NDC cannot vouch for the integrity of the voter register.
Dr Cassiel Ato Forson claimed that the details of the irregularities are so fertile and cannot be accepted, reiterating the stance of the opposition NDC for a forensic audit of the register.
“The Electoral Commission has admitted that the voters register is riddled with irregularities and flaws. I dare say Mr. Speaker, the scale of these irregularities is such that someone may have tampered with the vote register database.
“Our decisions should be people-centered. It should not be about us. It should be about the Ghanaian people, it should be Ghana first,” he added.
But responding to these claims, the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin insisted that the NDC is seeking to bestride independent state institutions.
Mr Afenyo-Markin said the claim that the register has been tampered with is unfounded. and urged not to condemn state institutions that are given constitutional mandates including the Electoral Commission.
