The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has pledged to explore all options to pressure the Electoral Commission (EC) into conducting an independent forensic audit of the voter register ahead of the 2024 elections.

Speaking at the NDC’s “Enough is Enough” street protest in Accra, Dr. Forson emphasized the need for transparency in the electoral process. Despite Parliament’s current recess, the NDC will push for the House to reconvene and address the discrepancies in the register.

The protest seeks to highlight concerns over the voter register and advocate for electoral reforms. Dr. Forson’s demands come amidst growing concerns over the accuracy and reliability of the voter register.

In a surprising move, Majority Leader in Parliament, Lawyer Alexander Afenyo-Markin, expressed support for Dr. Forson’s call to recall Parliament. Afenyo-Markin’s stance aims to ensure a transparent and peaceful electoral process.

Key Demands:

1. Independent forensic audit of the voter register
2. Address discrepancies and ensure electoral transparency
3. Reconvene Parliament to address NDC’s grievances

This development highlights the growing pressure on the Electoral Commission to address concerns over the voter register. With both the NDC and Majority Leader Afenyo-Markin pushing for reforms, Ghana’s electoral process may see significant changes ahead of the 2024 elections.
