Voter register: NDC’s allegations baseless – NPP 

-

The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has described the National Democratic Congress (NDC) alleged discrepancies in the voters register as baseless.

Speaking at the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, he said the allegations lack evidence.

“Not long ago, certain people staged a demonstration against the Electoral Commission based on what they perceived to be discrepancies in an attempt to rig the election for the New Patriotic Party (NPP),” he said.

Mr Kodua has therefore challenged the NDC to present their claims to the Electoral Commission (EC) for proper scrutiny.

“Despite several calls from key stakeholders, including ourselves, asking the NDC to raise legitimate concerns, we even suggested they hold a press conference and invite all of us to review these allegations.

“Today, as we speak, the NDC is yet to provide the so-called allegations and discrepancies to the Electoral Commission. Let it be on record,” he noted.

He further expressed doubt over the validity of the NDC’s claims, adding.

“I challenge them. If the NDC indeed has any further allegations, they should bring them forward for interrogation and to see whether the Electoral Commission has addressed them. It’s not a question of having a leaking roof and simply mopping the floor” he added.

The IPAC meeting was convened to address concerns regarding the voters’ register as the December 7 election approaches.

However, Mr Kodua emphasised that the NPP remains confident in the integrity of the register and the EC’s ability to address any legitimate concerns.
