Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Lawra Member of Parliament (MP) Anthony Karbo, has berated the National Democratic Congress (NDC) demonstration over the register.
Dubbed ‘Enough is Enough’ the nationwide demo was to express displeasure with the Electoral Commission (EC) over its refusal to conduct a forensic audit of the 2024 voters register.
Despite the high turnout, Mr Karbo has described the protest as a mere keep fit exercise.
According to the senior aide on Dr Bawumia’s campaign team, the NDC is fully aware that the EC has corrected the anomalies through internal mechanisms.
Addressing the media during a campaign tour in Kpone Katamanso on Tuesday, he said such a proposal was made to the EC in the past but it did not work.
Mr Karbo therefore stated he cannot fathom why the issue has come up again.
“We’ve been through that path before it didn’t work for us so why do we go back to it? A forensic audit will always do something monumental. There are no two ways about a forensic audit. We are sitting here the American voters register for elections in November is not a perfect register.
“That which was used in London is not a perfect register. Any forensic audit conducted anywhere in the world will reveal some discrepancies but whether those are significant to change the outcome of an election is left to be known. We don’t need any forensic audit,” he stated.
He continued, “Many years back when we were asking, they gave us these responses. Many years on, they are now asking what we were asking in the past and they are getting the same responses. Why should we support that?
“Well, I think it’s an exercise. It’s an exercise. You know, sometimes in this, our politics, there’s a lot of keep fit exercises. People must get out and show force. I mean, those are all the antics leading to an election and I don’t think that is a very serious enough demonstration.”
