Lead Economist for the New Force Movement, Hubert Baidoo, has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to provide clear criteria for the accreditation process.
Addressing the press on Thursday, December 5, 2024, Baidoo emphasised that a transparent and standardised approach would address his movement's concerns and foster cooperation between the EC and stakeholders.
According to him, while all five hundred and fifty-two agents of the movement qualify for accreditation cards, only 200 have been given, leaving many members without the necessary documentation to perform their duties.
He revealed troubling instances of alleged extortion by EC officials in the Eastern Region, where members of the New Force Movement have reportedly been compelled to pay money before being issued accreditation cards.
