EC works for Ghanaians, not for itself – Kwasi Amakye on NDC request for register audit

Dr. Kwasi Amakye Boateng, a Political Scientist at KNUST, has emphasized that the Electoral Commission should prioritize peace in Ghana by allowing an independent body to conduct an audit of the voter register for the 2024 election.

He stated that the NDC's request for an independent audit is reasonable and that the EC should focus on serving Ghanaians rather than insisting on conducting the audit itself.

Dr. Boateng also highlighted concerns about the EC's political neutrality and the need for trust and legitimacy in the electoral procedures.

The NDC's plan to hold a nationwide demonstration over the EC's refusal to accept an independent audit was also mentioned.
