Ghana’s biggest opposition party held nationwide protests in regional capitals across the country Tuesday demanding an audit of the voter roll for the general election set for December.
“We are not asking for a big favor from the electoral commission, we are demanding our right to free and fair elections,” Johnson Asiedu-Nketiah, the chairman of the National Democratic Congress party, the country’s main opposition party, told party members before the protest march in Accra.
The NDC claims that nearly 300,000 anomalies have been discovered, including illegal transfers of voters’ names and the removal of names from the register without their knowledge.
The protest march in Accra ended with the presentation of a petition to the parliament and the electoral commission. The petition calls for a bipartisan probe into the conduct of the Electoral Commission, an independent forensic audit of the voters register, and the immediate publication of the audit’s findings once conducted.
