The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has thrown down the gauntlet, demanding that the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) provide concrete evidence to support its claims of alarming irregularities in the 2024 provisional voter register.
At a press conference, NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong questioned the NDC’s motives, citing a history of baseless allegations and a lack of substantial evidence.
The NPP pointed out that despite the Electoral Commission’s (EC) request for detailed information, the NDC has failed to submit any evidence of the alleged discrepancies.
The NDC has claimed that the provisional register contains 243,540 illegal transfers, 3,957 deleted names of voters, and over 15,000 unidentified voter transfer paths.
However, the NPP argues that these allegations remain unsubstantiated.

He emphasized that existing electoral laws, specifically C.I. 127, provide mechanisms for resolving discrepancies, rendering an independent forensic audit unnecessary, and challenged the NDC to provide proof.

The NPP contended that the NDC’s agitation is “needless, deceptive, mischievous, and a deliberate attempt to create tensions,” ahead of the 2024 general elections.

Justin Kodua Frimpong said the actions of the NDC were hypocritical and questioned their commitment towards assisting the EC to meet its mandate since it’s a shared commitment from all stakeholders.
