Accra, Sept. 28, GNA – The Progressives Intellectuals (PI) have stated that the Electoral Commission’s refusal to accept proposals for a forensic audit of the voters’ register undermines the transparency of the electoral process.

The group, comprising university academics, researchers, and administrators in Ghana, stressed that the concerns voiced by certain members of the public about the integrity of the register must be taken seriously to build trust ahead of the December 7 elections.

A press statement signed by Dr. Yunus Dumbe, President of PI, stated that the Electoral Commission must show “extreme transparency” in fulfilling its mandate to earn public trust.

“This will restore the trust and confidence of the public in its activities. The current stance taking by the Commission portrays a certain negative picture which implies that it is not accountable to the public,” the Group said.

The Group appealed to the Commission to listen to the “voices of the masses” in the bid to strengthen democracy in Ghana.
