Those alleging EC is trying to cook data should be ignored – EC

A Deputy Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Dr. Bossman Asare, has urged Ghanaians to ignore rumours that the Commission has intentions to tamper with the provisional voters register to favour a political party in the forthcoming 2024 general elections.

Addressing a presser that forms part of the “Let’s the Citizens Know” initiative, he said the various political parties have been provided with records of all the exercises the commission has undertaken as part of its preparation for the 2024 general elections.

“The register is robust and credible. At the end of the day, the final and certified register will reflect corrections of all identified errors. Who gives out a document and makes it accessible to all if his intention is to add on illegal persons? It is important to note that the political parties have records of the daily registration report from the 2024 limited voter registration, and the mob up exercise,” he said.

Dr. Bossman Asare also challenged the political parties making such allegations against the Electoral Commission, to provide proof to back their claims.

“Unless they can share any proof, those alleging that the commission is trying to cook data should be ignored,” he added.
