The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has declared its commitment to ensuring that its meeting with the Electoral Commission (EC) about the 2024 provisional voters register is broadcast live.
In a letter dated August 27, the NDC requested a meeting with the EC to address concerns over alleged irregularities in the voters’ register.
On Thursday, September 5, the NDC followed up, requesting that the meeting scheduled for Friday, September 6, be aired live. However, the EC refused.
In a Facebook post, the NDC’s Director of Elections, Dr Omane Boamah, stated that the party representatives at the meeting would ensure it was streamed live for transparency.
He also warned the EC against any attempts to skew the upcoming election in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), cautioning that such actions would not be tolerated.
Dr Boamah also questioned the “loud silence of the ruling NPP despite the irregularities” raised regarding the provisional voters register.

Why Should the Electoral Commission of Ghana be Afraid of Live Coverage of Today’s Meeting with the NDC @ 2 pm?
———————————————————————
The Electoral Commission has refused to grant NDC’s request for live broadcast of our meeting with them today @ 2pm.
We disagree with the EC and I have communicated same to them.
This deliberate refusal flies in the face of Transparency: Transparency is cardinal to the attainment of Free, Fair and Peaceful elections.
The EC can not escape public scrutiny and forensic audit of the voters register!
Meanwhile, we’ve all observed the LOUD SILENCE of the ruling NPP notwithstanding all these anomalies.
It cannot be lost on us that the NPP stands to benefit illegally from the overt and covert manipulation of the register and the electoral process.
Additionally, the palpable purchased silence from other previously loud-mouthed personalities and institutions that are supposed to call the EC to order is telling!
We are serving notice that the NDC will not tolerate the unfolding day light advance robbery/rigging of Election 2024 to materialise.
This being the case, at today’s meeting at the Corporate office of the EC near the National Cathedral, we shall also serve as the broadcast outlets in the meeting and after the meeting.
We shall not relent!
We shall not falter!!
We shall not rest!!!
