The Electoral Commission (EC) has refuted the claim by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the commission said it would make the revised provisional voter register (PVR) available within a week after the televised Inter-party Advisory Committee meeting held on Tuesday, October 1.
The commission said that nowhere in the statement of its Chair Jean Mensa did she indicate that the revised PVR would be made available within a week after the meeting.
In a statement issued on Tuesday October 8, the Electoral Commission said it had taken note "of a statement by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the effect that the EC promised to make the revised Provisional Voters Register (PVR) available to the Political Parties within a week of the IPAC meeting as follows: the Functional Executive Committee of the NDC has deliberated and decided to accept the EC's promise to release to political parties, the corrected/updated version of the 2024 Provisional Voters Register for scrutiny within one week. "For the records, the Chairperson of the EC indicated during the televised IPAC meeting that the Commission would provide the Political Parties with the revised PVR and upload it online within two (2) weeks or earlier.
Nowhere in her statement did the Chairperson indicate that the revised PVR would be made available within a week. "For the avoidance of doubt, we attach the unedited video of the closing remarks made by the Chairperson to this effect." pic.twitter.com/JjQzHvJxhs - Electoral Commission Of Ghana (@ECGhanaOfficial) October 8, 2024
