I won't reject the result if Mahama wins December 7 election with a 'flawed' voters register - Sammy Gyamfi

The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has stated that if the Electoral Commission (EC) fails to allow a forensic audit of the voters' register, which the party deems flawed, and John Mahama wins the December 7 presidential election, he would not reject the results.

The NDC has raised concerns about the credibility of the voters' register ahead of the December 7 elections.

The party's Director of Elections and I.T., Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, claimed in a Facebook post that the current register is "unfit for purpose" and called for a forensic audit or thorough parliamentary investigation to address what he describes as "incurably defective" anomalies.

He said the NDC's diligence and scrutiny during the exhibition exercise revealed several issues with the register that, if not resolved, could jeopardize the credibility of the 2024 elections.

“The register compiled by the EC is unfit for purpose. Without a forensic audit or thorough parliamentary investigation of the EC's voter register, the register will remain incurably defective," he stated.

"Forget about adjudication! It's obvious the register has deliberately been tampered with!"

On September 23, 2024, the NDC met with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), labour unions, and religious leaders to push for a forensic audit of Ghana’s voter register after presenting its case on the need for the forensic audit of the voter register and the EC's IT system.

Following the NDC's persistent demands, the party's National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, in an interview on Asempa FM, was asked the following questions:

"After this advocacy and what you are requesting is turned down by the EC, and we go into the elections with this, in your own words, 'flawed' voter register and John Mahama wins the elections, would you reject the results?"

Sammy Gyamfi responded, "Why would I reject the results?"

The host retorted, "Because of the flawed voter register, as you mentioned."

Sammy Gyamfi questioned, "What are you talking about?"

The host pressed further, "Aren't you the one who claimed the voter register is flawed?"

Sammy Gyamfi concluded, "Master, what you're saying is neither here nor there."

The host asked again, "You said the voter register is flawed, and I am asking you if the corrections are not made and we vote with this register and Mahama wins, are you rejecting the results?"

Sammy Gyamfi responded, "I will not reject the results, but I will not be happy with the elections."
