According to the party it deems the IT system of the elections management body as susceptible to being used to tamper with the outcome of the December 7 elections. "… the NDC demands a multi-stakeholder and interparty examination of the IT system of the Electoral Commission with the aim of addressing the vulnerabilities that the EC itself has admitted to, which vulnerabilities led to several of the anomalies we have raised.
Clearly, the vulnerabilities in the IT system of the Electoral Commission can be exploited by criminals to compromise the integrity of the December 07, 2024 elections if not addressed," General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Kwetey wrote in a press release dated October 1.
