The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has condemned the recent ‘Enough is Enough’ protest organized by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against the Electoral Commission.
He describes the demonstration as unwarranted, pointing out that the NDC is yet to present any evidence of the alleged irregularities in the provisional voters’ register. Speaking to journalists on Thursday, Kodua Frimpong emphasizes that, despite the party’s claims, they have not provided substantial proof to back their accusations of discrepancies, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the protest and its motivations.
“Many Ghanaians and the NPP cannot comprehend why the NDC has not submitted to the EC detailed information of its so-called irregularities, discrepancies, and unauthorised entries in the provisional voters’ register despite several appeals by the EC.
“For instance, on page two of their petition to the EC, the NDC stated emphatically that they have uncovered evidence of 243,540 illegal transfers, 3,957 deleted names, as well as over 15,000 unidentified voter transfer cards in the provisional register. ”
“Yet 13 days after the NDC first met the EC on September 6, 2024, they have still not provided a single document to authenticate any of these allegations. We ask, is this not interesting?”
“Indeed, if the NDC has any evidence of illegal transfers, why have they not submitted evidence of such an illegality to be reversed by the EC?
“We believe strongly that the nationwide demonstration by the NDC would have been justified had the EC failed to act after receiving evidence from the NDC on the alleged irregularities and discrepancies,” he stated.
