NDC to scrutinize EC officials' affiliations to prevent partisan bias in upcoming elections.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is raising concerns about the potential appointment of partisan officials to manage the upcoming December 7 general elections. They're worried that the Electoral Commission's (EC) selection process for election-day officials might be biased, especially after previous instances of suspected partisanship .

The NDC is calling for a transparent and non-partisan approach to the appointment of election officials. They're also urging the EC to publicly disclose the names of appointed polling officials, as required by Regulation 19(6) of CI127 .

To ensure fairness and impartiality, the NDC has launched the “#EAGLEEYES” initiative, which will flag any appointed officials with ties to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of Election Day .

The party is also expressing frustration over the delay in releasing the list of election officials, warning that time is running out to address any concerns before polling begins .
