NDC focused on propaganda, failed to provide evidence for bloated voter roll claims – Justin Kodua
The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has challenged the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to substantiate its allegations of a bloated voters’ register, claiming the latter failed to present any evidence during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, 1 October 2024.
Convened by the Electoral Commission (EC) in Accra, the meeting sought to address various concerns regarding the 2024 voters’ register.
The NDC has asserted that the register includes ineligible voters and contains inaccuracies, leading to a nationwide protest on Tuesday, 17 September 2024, where they demanded a forensic audit of the electoral roll.
However, the NPP contended that the NDC missed a vital opportunity to back its claims during the discussions.
In a media briefing after the meeting, NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua expressed his disappointment over the NDC's lack of evidence.
“All of you [the media] were here. Tell me, all the presentations that were made by their [the NDC’s] reps, at what point in time did they even give us evidence? Did they give us the data that they turned out? None,” he stated.
Mr. Kodua further criticised the NDC for focusing on “propaganda matters,” adding: “They started talking about a roof that is leaking and using the mop to clean it. Is that why we came here? We came here based on the several allegations that you have made. Why did you run away? Why is the NDC running away?”
