Author:-Che Andrew....
I am not an authority on the work of board members but in this instance I will not blame the problem on "fishermen" being appointed to the Board of ECG. See a fisherman can be more efficient than a useless PhD holder. Certificates do not make a person wise and intelligent and we have seen it demonstrated in by the ordinary men and women who composed our constitution which has now become the football of the book-long people. I agree with you that the ECG has some of the most competent people in the world. I was so proud to see Ghanaian engineers from the ECG fixing electricity problems in Liberia and Sierra Leone to the marvel of the local people. Back in Ghana these same people are not in the field fixing the problems but have left the task to junior staff who are not that competent. Why is it that Ghanaians literally have to queue and sometimes bribe ECG staff before buying pre-paid meters? Why is it that customers are treated with contempt when they queue to buy credit for their pre-paid meters? Private business entities will disconnect any government facility that does not pay for the use of electricity.

Kuffuor knows he is responsible for the return of NDc as he dismantled the grassroots machinery of the party just because he wanted to secure Manhyia dominance over all Akans . The result like a lion whose teeth have been pulled made the Npp very ineffective , distrusted among the Fanti speaking Akans and the Twi speakers especially in the Brong Ahafo region . He succeeded in totally alienating the allies of the Fantis such as the Gas and Krobos. Now he sees the true opposition is no longer in the NPP but now freelancing and waiting for political violence escalating into war that NDC intends for us. He continued the corruption of friends family of his clandestine allies JJ/Mahama and now know we the third force will eventually gain power and punish him. Today we notice NDC campaigners now supporting NPP like Sekou Nkrumah under the pretext of anti corruption and incompetence but where we they even last year when most atrocities were being committed.Yes we grow stronger and this year is the year we will boot out all these useless greedy bastards and criminals in rivers of blood. You Kuffuor like your NDC were never loyal to the Akans or Ghanians for that matter. It is not dumsor that will defeat NDC rather the fact that that they are all empty shells with no common sense talk less any empathy for the misery of the people. Since the days of Solomon the qualities of successful leadership are well known. The Romans refined this and had an empire that lasted over a 1000 years and the elements are as follows . A great leader needs be among the top 5 % in wisdom that stems from almost divine perceptive justice , an expect in economics or today's macro economics , a general well versed in strategy and the art of war hence the title commander in chief , genuinely concerned for the welfare of the citizens hence the patriotism that stems from the loyalty to the majority of his subjects not the other way round as we see today etc. Pepeni/ayigbe idiots have no loyalty or love for no one except their own selfish tribalism/hegemony and thats why NDC will always fail as all they can promote is exploitation through corruption. If you cant even fix in peace time dumsor what will happen if there is an uprising or revolution involving millions . Their corrupt ministers are resigning because they need time to properly stash away their loot before the war starts. Donkor was one of the most corrupt and ashawo Dzifa after the port expansion deals and a few other things is one of the most richest women in Africa today. This selfish greedy corrupt minister is only a symptom of this criminal mafia full of anti Akan prejudice and hate. We pointed out last year that all their projects were burdened or tainted by immoral corrupt selfish greedy appetites of the ndc and the kleptomaniac brothers of pepeni omanhene. If these projects ever make it to parliament or the president they are normally half baked very flawed or contaminated as the monies that should have been invested in the project development were spent buying favor or bribing ndc foot-soldiers , bureaucrats , technocrats etc into compliance. Now pepeni realizes he has less than 2 months to actual start something spectacular that if it doesn't win him the elections at least secure him a sizable strong opposition. If there in no success story then NDC will be rejected en mass by the people and fall to 10% of support which will mean that party will never again be entrusted with the helm of government. Most ministers will end up in jail or exiled if there is a peaceful transition , if they cause war almost all of them and their families will die horrible deaths in the imminent cutlass revolution .

In abundance of water the fool is tasty. In abundance of rich minerals the Ghanaian is poor. When one of its members tried to bring transformation you will see the endemic silly minded shouting you cannot do it. Truly a prophet is without honour except in his own country. If you don’t have the mind of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah you can never bring change to Ghanaians. The mind of Nkrumah speaks louder beyond our borders. It is simply Fear of God and selfless service to Nation and the people.

“Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.” (Martin Luther King Jnr,)

It is very simple to develop the people to take charge in managing their own affairs; people must be encouraged to use their minds effectively and positively. The black person has been an object of mockery in the world for a very long time. Those with great knowledge expertise were and are being exploited outside their country of origin through “brain drain” philosophy. All because we don’t we believe in ourselves.

Most black people are so corrupt and greedy to point of selling their conscience for bread to betray their own. Today in our own land, our own people serve as agents to foreign profiteers to thwart the growth and development of our people and the nation. Many of our own go round the world misinforming our development partners from given us assistance or delay the processes that will enhance our development. Yet will come and spill bitterness about life in the country.

The have just one myopic ambition; to have access to power to enrich themselves and not the welfare of the masses. They see political ambition as act of war by only dwelling agitations other than providing solutions. Their way is to manipulate the system to get access. They always rush to speak on issue before analysing, very shallow and unintelligent, they prefer to be called names that sounds intimidating however they are the most cowardice.

Such non entities vociferous traitors are in the country trying very hard every morning to make their voices heard to prove to their partners that they are doing well. However if you analyse them carefully, you will begin to ask questions.

What have they done for their community?
What are their personal achievements?
Where is their source of income?
Who pays their monthly wages and living allowance?
What transformation have they brought to their immediate community?

Be a true citizen and make careful choices, do not follow the masses when you can make a difference. It is not how much words you can put out or the grammar you can spew but the sense you can make. It is very true empty barrels make the most noise.

All that you guys claim to stand for are coloured by your political preferences and you think that will earn you progress . This however shows how immature and silly you are in dialogue on issues of fair justice.

“Difficulties” are part of life, so it is for a growing nation like ours. It takes sacrifices to build a nation and not laziness and gluttony to consume and destroy what we have here and now. It is obvious that the gluttonous opposition NPP has nothing to clinch on for their campaign; so they think using “corruption” as a slogan will earn them some moral image.

The question is “Who is more corrupt in Ghana than these Dankwa / Busia folks?”

Attacking and distracting leaders without sound alternative is not only sickening with these folks but also portrays immaturity and emptiness. They just want to do or say something to grab unnecessary attention.

They have no solution???. If you test their opinion to deep analysis, you always end up by cheap and shallow political biases and unfounded allegations.
Always rushing to comment before analysing, attacking before asking what is at stake. Is this not silly and idiocy?

Our buttocks loving JDM,
Who introduced voodoo in Ghanaian politics
Killer of Atta Mills, and pusher of cocaine thru the VVIP lounge, Ametefe is in jail
Dumsor is your major achievement, and corruption ya brand
Failed STX is thy glory, and tweaaaah ya title
Unemployment and non-payment of salaries are your favourites
High utility tariffs and taxes are your appreciations expressed to Ghanaians
Running Ghana like a private company
Huge but needless loans are all you know, thinking you can throw dust
Into the eyes of Ghanaians
You shout out, ‘I’ve made phenomenal investments’
But the Ghanaian sees none, when casts his gaze around
Corruption is thy favourite and womanising your habit
Lining up our ladies
Vicky, Selassie, Ametefe
And Harlot Osei a Fulani, all ya catch
To lash with polisi abaa
And share with Conduit Barima K Duah
Looting thru the Turkey airport, gold from Ghana as you airlift to Brazil fiscal cash to our players
Merchant bank is thy collapse as Hotel Dubai is thy thievery,
Ordinary Ghanaians bear your wahala, as leap is ya corruption
Mediocrity is thy best, SADA, GYEEDA, and SUBAH clap for you
ISOFOTON, Woyome, Waterville and the CP say we are the gargantuan judgement debts
Your sackings in embarrassments, ministers to reshuffle
Thinking such too little too late actions can help sustain your cause
Mediocrity is your best, while re-election is your priority
Vote rigging is thy faith, as tribal card is thy aim,
You are followed by some morons, Kofi U.S.A. being one such buffoons,
Nana Addo is a formidable candidate whom you cannot beat in these elections
Incompetence is thy hallmark as looting is thy passion,
Confusion is thy name and oppression is thy move,
Leave us not in abject poverty
But employ the graduates from our schools
Pay in full the millions owed to public workers
Scale down significantly the unprecedented increase in utility tariffs
Which you impose on us yet nothing positive to show
Leave Ghana as united, and not in state of war thorn
Truly is thy greed, exposed by ya ignorance
Your moves to intimidate the citizenry is fully comprehended
And shall not be countenanced but countered with full force
So beware be humble, and accept defeat in good faith
For that shall be better for you, to let democracy but not greed reign supreme.
Corruption is to Mahama, incompetence is his governance,
Team B are ya ministers, chichinga for their concubines
Cheap selling of tractors, over-invoicing of contracts
Ameri deals and Karpower are all ya wahala deals and bane
You shake under ya pants, doubting who takes ya lies again
Elections are here you’re hot, Atinga ba yiri Atinga ne
For Ghanaians are yearning for change as Ghana needs to progress
Forever and ever, Amen!!

We can only fight darkness with light and so can we fight lies with truth. NPP intends and is determined to sabotage anything that doesn't conforms to its quest for power agenda. Ghana isn't for NPP nor for NDC either, some of us aren't interested in these thieves and corrupt of politicians, whose only trade mark is to steal and make themselves tin gods over the people they were supposed to be serving.

Sensible demand by Ehpson. Yes. The npp, if they are to be trusted of not being mischief, should publish the respond from the EC for the public to know what the reasons for the decisions of the panel members are. They should do it right now. Many of us have come to conclusion that, majority of those who are following the npp are just raw illiterates and are being taken for granted to make noise for Akufo Addo and his Akyem family members. I have a European Union citizenship and I have voted in Ghana all along. I also vote here quite recently. Even if there are Togolese Voters on the register, what is the difference between us? The npp should do well to bring down all the voter registers of the word for verification. Akufo Addo is a big threat to the peace of this country. He should be very careful. Ghana is not one of his father's stolen properties that he has sold and used for hard drug. He is warned.

The EC responded to NPP out of laziness or with diabolic intentions. The EC agrees that the current register has problems as the NPP and some political parties and groups alleged. What work did the EC do? The EC never investigated. The EC only told us Togo was not ready to provide Ghana with their register and Togo EC could not substantiate where the NPP got its Togo register from. How did the Ghana EC approach Togo EC? Don't forget; Ghana EC had already told Ghanaians the burden of proof lies with the NPP.

On scanned pictures; the EC only said a consultant they engaged reported that the BM machine and the process of registering is such that no one can scan photographs into the register.

Are these enough reasons to rubbish what the NPP and other political parties are alleging?

Is it not true that the some of the pictures in the voter register has staple pins as scanned?

Is it not true that in many constituencies the registred number of voters are proportionally way above the actual populations in those areas?

Is the EC and Ben Ephson not surprised about these?

The EC is either being LAZY or DIABOLIC.
Blunt refusal of the EC to compile new register, which is highly supported by the NDC and President John Mahama, must tell Ghanaians and the world that the two have something to hide. The Ghana EC has now branded itself as a political opponent, which is dangerous to our democracy. Some EC staff, including the EC boss are just working for NDC and not Ghana. God will save Ghana miraculously in 2016.

It is now very clear the kind of hatred this man has for the NPP. Ephson should not be hypocritical and boldly declare his stand so that people will know where he is coming from. Every well meaning Ghanaian knows the approach by Ec was not the best and yet people like Ephson did not see any thing wrong. The best thing for Ghana is to have an EC Boss who does not carry a vote, ie an non-Ghanaian and cannot be influenced by the ruling Government. If the sitting president will continue to appoint his favourite to such a sensitive position, then it will not be a surprice if an EC will one day plunge the country into confusion. Every single step of this EC will be in favour of NDC becauce the woman is 100% NDC and this is surely not the best for Ghana. an EC should be beyond repproach

December 30, 2015
The General-Secretary
The New Patriotic Party
Head office, Accra.

Dear Sir,

REQUESTS FROM THE NEW PATRIOTIC PARTY FOR A NEW REGISTER

Please find below a recap of the main points made in your letters and submissions; the chronology of relevant events since the receipt of the first letter; and the responses of the Electoral Commission to each of the issues raised by your Party. On the 25th of July, 2015 your Party supported her request for a new voters’ register with the following allegations:

1. That the case of Abu Ramadan and Another vs Electoral Commission and Attorney General disallowed the use of National Health
Insurance Authority (NHIA) Identification Cards as proof of qualification to register, making the use of same for that purpose unconstitutional, void and of no effect.
2. That the EC has refused to undertake proper auditing and comprehensive de-duplication of the 2012 biometric register with the required transparency which stakeholders demanded.

3. That there is disparity in the total number of registered voters provided by the EC at different times during the 2012 election cycle.
4. That analysis of the 2010 population census and the 2012 biometric registration reveal several districts where the number of registered voters is in excess of the total population census figure for those districts.

5. That the 2012 register has a voter population that is 56.2% of the total population of Ghana, which is exceedingly high and unrealistic compared to other African countries.
6. That there are several calls by CSOs and FBOs raising doubts about the credibility of the register used for the 2012 national polls.
A further Petition received on August 18, 2015 contained the
following additional allegations:

1. That there are 76,000 Togolese nationals onGhana’s voters’ register.
2. That the Register contains pictures that have been edited.
3. That about 900 names on an entire polling station contain pictures scanned into system as evidenced by staple marks.
At an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held on August 21, 2015, it was agreed by all parties that due to District Level Elections scheduled for September 1, 2015 and the need to hear all stakeholders on the voters’ Register, all interested Parties were to submit their position on the Register by September 22, 2015. Petitions were received from thirty-four stakeholders (including sixteen political parties and many CSOs and citizens of Ghana) and were duly considered and circulated subsequently at the Forum.

On the September 22, 2015 another petition was received from your Party with the following further and additional
allegations:
1. That there are 2096 multiple registrations on the Register, involving:
a. cases of double and multiple registrations with multiple photographs;
b. double and multiple registrations with multiple voter ID numbers;
c. same registration details and photographs in different Polling Stations. On September 22, 2015 the EC announced the setting up of an Independent Panel of Eminent Ghanaians to evaluate all submissions received and examine all allegations arising
therefrom.

On September 30, 2015 the IPAC meeting agreed to hold a public forum on the 29th and 30th October, 2015 in order to
publicly address the issues concerning the Register. The Public Forum, held in the form of a public hearing, was successfully undertaken on those dates.
At the Forum, and on October 29, 2015, your Party made the following additional allegations:
1. That there are Minors, with age zero on the Register; and
2. That there are no residential addresses provided on the Register.
In addition, on October 3, 2015, with donor support, the Electoral Commission procured the services of an independent consultant to examine the Biometric Voters Register. October 19, 2015 the Commission wrote to the NPP to request for a copy of the Togolese register and the Shikakope Register used in the analysis contained in their petition of August 18,2015.

Again, on 6 November 2015, the Commission received a response from the NPP submitting a soft copy of the Togo register and the Shikakope register dated September 1, 2015. The Commission again wrote to the Togolese EC on November 10, 2015, requesting a copy of the Togolese register for examination.

The Commission again on November 11, 2015 wrote to the NPP seeking clarification from the NPP on the Shikakope Register dated September 1, 2015 which was the basis for the petition of 18 August, 2015 and further requested for an update on the analysis of Cote d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso registers as stated in the NPP petition of August 18, 2015. In a meeting on November 18, 2015 with officials of the NPP, the party clarified the register used for the Shikakope analysis and further confirmed that there was no further update on the analysis on the Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire registers.

On November 21, 2015, a second version of the Shikakope register was submitted by the NPP. The EC on November 24, 2015 submitted another request to the Togolese EC for verification of the Togolese register provided by the NPP.

On November 27, 2015, the EC received a response from the Togo EC stating that they were unable to confirm the authenticity of the register submitted by the NPP as the Togolese register is a security document containing the private information of Togolese citizens. Finally, on December 15, 2015, the EC received the final report from the Consultant on the Independent Review of the Biometric Voters’ Register and on December 21, 2015, the final report from the independent panel of Eminent Ghanaians set up to look into the issue.

Following the receipt of the report of the Panel, the EC informed IPAC on December 22, 2015 of the receipt of the
report and requested time to study the report and revert to IPAC and the general public on the Commission’s position and the contents of the Panel’s report.

EC RESPONSE AND OUTCOME OF INVESTIGATIONS INTO CLAIMS AND ALLEGATIONS MADE BY THE NPP

Allegation 1: Abu Ramadan and Anor vs Electoral Commission & Attorney General disallowed the use of NHIA cards as proof of qualification to register making the use of same for that purpose unconstitutional, void and of no effect.

EC position:
In the Abu Ramadan case, the Supreme Court ruled that the use of NHIA cards, in their current form, was insufficient as proof of citizenship and consequently, the Electoral Commission (EC) was directed to stop accepting same as proof of citizenship for voter registration exercises. Nowhere in the ruling did the Supreme court nullify all registrations by voters who presented NHIA cards as proof of citizenship.

The Court in the course of the proceedings, declined the plaintiff’s request to cancel all such registrations. The EC shares the view of the SC that it would be fair and proper for all such persons to also be heard prior to the invalidation of their registration.

The view of the EC is therefore that the Abu Ramadan ruling cannot be the basis for the creation of a new register. The current challenge procedures under CI 72 are sufficient to deal with all registered voters who presented NHIA cards as proof of citizenship. Such voters must also be given the opportunity to present additional proof of citizenship if available, before
they are struck off the register.

Allegation 2: EC has refused to undertake proper auditing and comprehensive de-duplication of the 2012 biometric register with the required transparency which stakeholders demanded.

EC position:
Guided by the need for stakeholder cooperation and support, the EC compiled the Biometric Register with extensive interactions with the political parties. Discussions covered issues of procurement, field operations and the exhibition of the register throughout 2011 and 2012.

Political parties provided representation on the technical and legal committees that considered and drafted the appropriate laws for the registration and the verification of voters. The EC displayed the Provisional Voters Register (PVR) in all registration centers after the mass registration in 2012 and in 2014 after the limited registration, to offer voters and persons qualified to be registered the opportunity to:
• Verify particulars
• Object to ineligible names in the PVR.
Additional to the verification of voters, Stakeholders (Politica lParties)
• participated in adjudication of registration challenges through the district registration review committee
• participated in adjudication of suspected cases of multiple registrations after de-duplication
• objected against inclusion of names in the register during exhibition of the PVR.
After the 2012 elections, the software has also been upgraded to ensure de-duplication using the biometric data as well as biographic data of voters. Accordingly, it is the view of the EC, that working with the political parties, the register has been progressively updated and de-duplicated since 2012. Over 150,000 names have been removed and the EC will continue to work with the political parties and all stakeholders to clean the register and undertake further de-duplication. The allegation by the NPP is therefore inaccurate.

Allegation 3: Disparity in the total number of registered voters provided by the EC at different times during the 2012 election cycle.
EC position:

The process of compiling the voters’ register is divided into 4 stages;
• Stage 1: Collection of biographic data (using polling stations as registration centers)
• Stage 2: Compilation of the Provisional Voters Register (PVR) from collected data
• Stage 3: Exhibition of the PVR (for scrutiny, correction of personal details, inclusions and objections)
• Stage 4: Production of the Final Voters Register (after corrections arising from the exhibition). This clearly means that until all the stages have been completed, all figures related to the register are provisional. In many cases the stages overlap due to the duration of adjudication of challenges and objections after registration (stage 1) and Exhibition (stage3). Indeed in a few cases requests are made for inclusion just before the production of the PVR and being mindful of the ruling of the Tehn Addy case, the Commission usually takes action on requests when possible. The practice is to provide information on the voter numbers, as the EC goes through the various stages, to the political parties. In the case of the compilation of the 2012 Biometric Voter Register the process was as follows;
Stage 1:
In a briefing to Parliament after collecting the biographic data of applicants’ in the mass registration, the Chairman of the EC reported the results of the registration as follows;
i) Mass registration (4 phases) 24th March – 5th
May 2012
PHASE TOTAL
1 4,817,561
2 3,710,076

Volta 237
Eastern 149
Ashanti 1,185
Northern 6,178
Upper East 2,506
Upper West 342
Total 16,812

He further stated that he expected the total figures to go up because of wrongly coded entries and planned late
registrations that was to cover:
• Ghanaians abroad who were eligible for registration (Security Personnel on peace-keeping duties, diplomats and students on government scholarship)
• Persons whose registrations were challenged and were under review

Stages 2 and 3

Following de-duplication and correction of the several wrongly coded entries recorded during registration, a PVR with total registered Voters of14,060,573 was displayed at all
registration centers. During the Exhibition 8,955,882 voters representing63.7% visited their centers to check their personal details in the register. The addition of late registrations and receipt of substantial returns from the adjudication of registration challenges and exhibition objections increased the number of registered voters on the PVR to 14,158,890.

Stage 4;
The total number of registered Voters for the FVR was 14,031,793. This outcome was as a result of the final decisions to recommend inclusions/deletions from the various adjudication committees across the country. Consequently, only one register was used by the EC for the 2012 elections and the EC did not present different registers to political parties during the election cycle.

Allegation 4: Analysis of the 2010 population census and the 2012 biometric registration reveal several districts where number of registered voters are in excess of the total population census figure for those districts.

EC position:
The general connection of a Population Census to Biometric Voters’ Registration is the usefulness of the census results in providing a basis for the planning decisions in a voter registration exercise.
Questions such as:
• Where to locate registration centers?
• What are the number of applicants to expect at the various centers?
• What quantity of materials to distribute to the various centers? are usually answered by checking with the latest Housing and Population census figures. The projections calculated from these base figures help in the planning effort. A simple comparison of registration numbers and census figures at the district and constituency level even in the same year may not result in the same outcomes. In the case of the 2010 Census and the 2012 Biometric Registration, the difference in figures in all the districts in Ghana may be on account of the following;
• Population growth (estimated annual growth rate for Ghana is 2.5%)
• Tendency of voters and candidates to go to their home towns and districts to register
• Draw of new economic activities
• Non-comprehensive nature of census (based on estimates)
• Transfers and postings of Public Officers, teachers, security personnel, etc.

The EC is therefore of the view that this allegation cannot be the basis for the creation of a new register.

Allegation 5: 2012 register has a voter population that is 56.2% of the total population of Ghana, which is exceedingly high and unrealistic compared to other African countries

EC position:
The measure of Voter Population of a country depends usually on the following factors; voting age, demography of country,
political environment and coverage, laws guiding Voter registration exercises and other socio-economic factors. These determinants differ from country to country and as such simply comparing voter populations without situating the figures properly within context, does not provide a clear picture of the situation.
In comparing 2015 figures from Ghana, South Africa and Kenya, the voter populations of the countries were measured
as follows:

play

The reasons for Ghana’s relatively high score are:
• Processes for challenging registration of prospective voters in other jurisdictions are more effective.
• The voter ID card is the de-facto national ID card in Ghana, hence the higher numbers due to enhanced demand for it as a means of identification.
• The existence of a compulsory national ID system in most comparative countries.
• No automatic linkages of voter registration to the births and deaths registry in Ghana, hence a high number of deceased persons still on the register. Consequently, an alleged high percentage of voters on Ghana’s register simpliciter cannot be the basis for the creation of a new register.

Allegation 6: Calls by CSOs and FBOs for a new Register raising doubts about the credibility of the Register used for the 2012 polls.

EC position:
CSOs and FBOs who raised doubts about the register, based their calls largely on the submissions and allegations made in the media by the NPP and other affiliate groups. Indeed at the Voters’ Register Forum, most of the political parties and CSOs were inclined towards a cleaning of the current register rather than the creation of a new register. Further, whilst acknowledging the immense contribution of CSOs and FBOs to our national governance, the Commission is of the view that critical decisions to be made by the Commission should be based on the national interest and sound bases and not merely public calls by CSOs and FBOs
for particular outcomes, however well intentioned they may be. It is the considered view of the Commission, that allegations made by all stakeholders must be examined and subjected to requisite analysis, and so mere allegations and doubts on the credibility of the Register should not be the basis for the creation of a new register.

Allegation 7: 76,000 Togolese on Ghana’s voter register

EC position:
In examining the identity and status of the 76,000 Togolese alleged to be on Ghana’s Register, the EC found that they were all duly registered during the mass registration period in 2012. Most of the voters were registered in districts in the Volta and Northern Regions. These districts include Keta, Ketu South, Ketu North, Akatsi South, Akatsi North, Adaklu, Agotime Ziope, Ho Municipality, Kpando Municipality and Tatale/Sanguli. Our conclusion from this examination is that the voters are duly qualified under the laws of Ghana to be on Ghana’s Register. The NPP did not provide any proof of the citizenship status of these persons and did not show any proof that they were not entitled to be registered in Ghana. Registration on the register of another country, under the current laws of Ghana, does not take away one’s eligibility to be on the Ghanaian Register.

The Commission was also unable to confirm the authenticity of the Togolese Register used by the NPP in their analysis as the Electoral Commission of Togo declined to provide the EC with a copy of its register or confirm the authenticity of the soft copy of the register used by the NPP. It is important to observe that in the petition of the NPP dated August 18, 2015, the party claimed to have based its analysis on copies of the register displayed in Togo prior to their elections. However, upon request from the EC for the register used in the analysis, the NPP presented a soft copy of the Togo Register which the Togolese Electoral Commission says it had not given out to any third parties.
Finally, Ghana’s Constitution permits dual nationality and admits the possibility of acquiring citizenship through many modes such as naturalization, adoption, and marriage. It would therefore be improper and unconstitutional to simply remove the names of persons on the register on the mere allegation that they appear on the register of another country without giving them the opportunity to provide proof of their citizenship of Ghana. Seeking to remove names of persons who appear on the registers of Togo, Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire in our view, would be an arbitrary and discriminatory application of the law. Would the Commission therefore be required to obtain the registers of all countries of the world and remove the names of persons who appear on such registers as well as Ghana’s? Further, at a subsequent meeting between the Commission and the NPP on November 18 2015, the NPP stated that it could not provide an update on the analysis of the Togolese register (which in the party’s petition of August 18, 2015 the party claimed only ten percent of the analysis had been completed). At the said meeting, the NPP also informed the Commission that it had discontinued the analyses of the Burkinabe and Ivorian Voter Registers. It is the view of the EC that the allegation by the NPP regarding the presence of 76,000 Togolese on Ghana’s Register is therefore unsubstantiated and not supported by the citizenship laws of Ghana.

Allegation 8: Edited pictures on register

EC position:
The Biometric Register has multiple layers of data protection and integrity assurance and does not permit the possibility of pictures on the register being edited. The consultant’s report on the Independent Review of the Biometric Voters Register also supports the position that this is not possible and that the system has adequate integrity and has not been compromised. We would be happy to share the Consultant’s report with the NPP.

Allegation 9: About 900 names on an entire polling station with pictures scanned into system as evidenced by staple marks .

EC position:
It is untrue that all the registrations at the Shikakope- Apekuitome Polling Station are fictitious. It is further untrue that there are staple marks on the pictures and that these pictures were scanned into the system.

Two holes in the Red background cloth used for capturing photos during the mass registration period in 2012 have been mistaken or alleged by the NPP to be staple pin marks observed in the register of Shikakope- Apekuitome Polling Station(D020902) in the Ketu South district. An enlargement of the pictures clearly shows the holes in the red cloth used as background for the photos during the registration exercise.

Further checks in the voter registration database confirm the voters were properly and legally registered. Their forms 1A and 1C are available for inspection.

The NPP also had agents at the registration centres during the registration exercise. Further, their full biometric and biographic information are available on the system, as well as the dates and times of registration. A few samples from the register are inserted below (names have been removed to protect privacy of voters).
In addition, the independent BVR expert brought in by theCommission has confirmed the validity of these registrations, the integrity of the BVR system and that further, photos cannot be scanned into the system to create a voter registration. All registrations must be generated via the BVR kits, with live pictures.

Allegation 10: Cases of double and multiple registrations with multiple photographs.

EC position:
It has been demonstrated that the system was capable of removing over 150,000 multiple registrations from the register. It was further demonstrated that there is a clear, multi-level transparent procedure of Adjudication when humans check the machines’ findings. It was also demonstrated that there are very few cases of multiple registrations which resulted from either: Human error, system allowed error margin or insufficient biometric data (no fingerprints were captured or low quality fingerprints). The magnitude of multiple registrations in the current Register is very acceptable by any standard (estimated at hundreds in the entire register of 14.8 million people). The register does not have the multiple registration challenge that is being alleged. As stated in several fora by the Commission, there are a few cases of multiple registrations still in the register. These duplicates are in the register for the following reasons:
• Accuracy level of AFIS (the biometric software) engine is 99.98% (as per specifications)
• Insufficient Biometric data (Voters who registered with less than 6 fingers)
• Low quality fingerprints
• Human error during Adjudication processes The EC has introduced programmes to eliminate these multiple registrations. These include:
• Installation of a De-duplication system that matches biometric and biographic data. This ensures that duplicates of Voters with no (or insufficient) biometric data are detected during exhibition of the register.
• Upgrading of AFIS (software) and Voter Registration systems
• Establishing a better adjudication process with the assistance of political parties at IPAC. In our view, 2,096 alleged multiple registrations out of over 14 million entries are in line with duplicates expected to pass through the system. A percentage of less than 0.02% should not be the basis for the replacement of the entire Register.

Allegation 11: Double and multiple registrations with multiple voter ID numbers;

EC position:
This is a false allegation as shown below. And cases of multiple registrations, have been explained in the preceding Allegation.

Allegation 12: Same registration details and photographs in different Polling Stations.

EC position:
This is a clear case of multiple registration with systems in place and appropriate facilities to detect and expunge

.
Allegation 13: Minors with age zero on register

EC position:
A software bug in the voter registration program caused the system to produce these incorrect entries. The error affected 120 entries. The bug has been found and fixed. A software bug affecting 120 entries in a register with over 14 million entries cannot in our view be the basis for the creation of a new register.

Allegation 14: No residential addresses on register

EC position:
The EC collects residential addresses of all applicants during registration. The aim for collecting this data is to make it available to political parties and the public for purposes of campaigning and cleaning of the roll. Concerns about handing over addresses of every adult Ghanaian to third parties have stalled its publication. The Commission is studying the issues of privacy as against its desire to have it published as expressed in law to make a

determination that will be satisfactory to all parties.

CONCLUSION
It is the considered view of the Electoral Commission that a good case for the need for a new Register has not been made
by the NPP. The Commission further wishes to point out that the 2012 Register was created with the active collaboration of all political stakeholders in Ghana.

Indeed, the NPP contested the 2012 general elections on the basis of the same register and filed a Supreme Court petition against the outcome of the presidential election as declared by the EC.

In that petition, the NPP sought for its candidate be declared the winner of the 2012 presidential elections contested on the very same Register.

The NPP as well as other political parties collaborated with the EC in the process of updating the Register during the 2014 limited registration and exhibition process.

That process essentially updated the 2012 Biometric register which the NPP now alleges to be flawed. In addition, the NPP and other political parties contested the recent Talensi and Amenfi-West by-elections and expressed confidence in the outcomes of both elections, based on the current Register. Further, 19,527 citizens of Ghana contested the 2015 district assembly elections, and 39,682 candidates contested the 2015 unit committee elections based on the current register. The Commission received no complaints on the quality of the Register during these by-elections and the District Assembly Elections.

Finally, the request for a new Register makes no recommendations on the process to be adopted in creating a new Register to ensure that the results to be produced would be different from the current Register.

In addition, preparing a new register implies that the existing Voters ID and the attestation of new registers by existing voters would be unacceptable as this would essentially import the alleged flaws of the existing register on to the new Register.

It would therefore be important to ensure that citizens who intend to register and do not have valid Ghanaian passports, drivers’ licenses and National Identity cards have a means of identifying themselves.

The NPP has not made any recommendations that would ensure that many citizens of Ghana are not unduly disenfranchised in the process of creating a new Register. From all the foregoing, the Electoral Commission is of the view that the current Biometric cannot therefore by any measure be said to be “incurably flawed” and not fit for purpose.

The Commission posits further that a case for the need for a new Register has not been convincingly made. The Commission welcomes the opportunity to work with all stakeholders, including the NPP, to ensure that an even more credible Register is available for the 2016 elections and
towards a peaceful, transparent and inclusive electoral process in 2016.
