Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

The National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, says the party will not back down on its demand for a forensic audit of the voter's register.

According to him, the numerous irregularities identified by the party in the provisional voter's register are too significant for them to trust it moving forward.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on September 18, a day after the party's nationwide demonstration against the Electoral Commission, he explained that allowing the current register to be used in the upcoming elections would deny the NDC and other political parties a levelled playing field, thereby giving the ruling party an undue advantage.

“The most important thing is that your name should be in the register. If your name is in the register and you don’t even have an ID card, you can vote but if your name is not in the register and you have an ID, you can’t vote."

“So, you can now appreciate the seriousness of the issues we are talking about here and somebody will say it is just about 4,000 people. That is what we as a political party detected back then. There could be more. You can only know the magnitude of that problem through a forensic audit. That is why the call for a forensic audit is non-negotiable,” he said.
