The Electoral Commission (EC) has strongly denied allegations that it has added names to the voter register to benefit a particular political party in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Dr.
Bossman Asare, the EC's Deputy Chairman in charge of Corporate Services, stressed that the commission has no intention of inflating the register to favour any political party.
Speaking during an update on the voter exhibition exercise, Dr Bossman Asare dismissed the claims as baseless and urged the public to disregard them. "It is also absolutely untrue that the commission has added names to the voters register in a bid to rig the election for a particular party.
Those allegations are without merit and should be disregarded by the public. "The EC has no intention of bloating the register to give any political party an advantage over the other.
As explained earlier, the cumulative transfer data from 2020, 2023 and 2024 were inadvertently summed up in the registers provided to the political parties. "This has been corrected and the revised register will be provided after all corrections have been made.
the revised transfer list will be shared with the political parties," he stated.
