The Paramount Chief of the Goaso Traditional Area in the Ahafo Region Nana Kwasi Bosomprah, has called on the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, to avail herself for a forensic audit requested by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) concerns regarding discrepancies in the voters’ register.
This call follows the NDC’s “Enough is Enough” nationwide demonstration on September 17, which was sparked by the Electoral Commission’s refusal to permit an external audit of the voter register. NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah highlighted the necessity of a credible voters’ register, advocating for a forensic audit by the Electoral Commission.
During a recent meeting with NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama and the Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs, Nana Kwasi Bosomprah advised the Electoral Commission to commit to an external audit to ensure peace and transparency in the electoral process.
“The EC’s response to the NDC’s concerns was uninspiring. I firmly believe an external audit is necessary. Denying this request raises suspicions.’’
He argued that if the EC maintains that the register is accurate, an audit would further validate its credibility.
“If the EC allows an audit and finds nothing, it will boost its credibility. I urge the EC to heed the NDC’s demands for peace to prevail.”
I know they're hiding something. Avail yourself for a forensic audit if there's no 'darkness' in the voters register – Goase Manhene to EC Chair#MetroNews pic.twitter.com/iYW7ZDbu4y
