An advocacy group, Election Watch Ghana, on Monday, August 19, gathered at the headquarters of the Electoral Commission (EC) to demand the immediate release of the Provisional Voter Register (PVR) to political parties.
This move comes in response to the EC’s delay in publishing the provisional voter register, which is mandated by the Constitutional Instrument governing the elections.
Despite prior assurances from the EC, the delay has raised serious concerns, particularly among the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and other stakeholders in the upcoming general elections.
Addressing the media outside the EC headquarters, the Convenor of Election Watch Ghana, Mark Ewusi, expressed concerns that the delay is compromising the transparency and integrity of the electoral process.
“We all know that per the calendar of the Electoral Commission, tomorrow is said to be the day for the exhibition and it is very prudent for political parties to get hold of the provisional register so that we can scrutinise it for the exercise tomorrow.
“Unfortunately for us, we got here and the commissioners themselves and the workers had not resumed work,” he stated.
