EC wants to change existing law on elections - Asiedu Nketia

The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has alleged that the Electoral Commission wants to change the existing law on elections in the country.

.

This follows a proposed Constitutional Instrument (C.I) by the Electoral Commission for continuous registration.

.

Reacting to this, he contended that EC’s real intention for introducing the C.I is not for continuous registration.

?

“This whole idea of trying to throw dust into the eyes of the Ghanaian public that the law is for continuous registration is completely false.”

.

He added that “the same law that will provide for registration can be used for continuous registration, it can be used for limited registration and a total overhaul of the register.”

.

“Going by the history of the Electoral Commission, nobody is convinced if EC just comes out without anything in the law and then to tell us that believe us that we are going to use it continuous registration.

Meanwhile, former Electoral Commission (EC) boss, Dr. Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, has warned of possible multiple voting and ballot stuffing in the 2024 polls should the Commission’s proposed Constitutional Instrument receive parliamentary approval.
