The NDC Youth Organiser stressed that the EC boss will be the first port of call for the international community should violence erupt in Ghana, adding that Ghanaians cannot be refugees in other countries. Ghana is not bigger than other jurisdictions where electoral violence is recorded. The NDC and other parties have vehemently kicked against the decision by the EC to compile a new voter register through various demonstrations and press conferences. But the EC insists the integrity of the 2020 polls could be undermined if a new roll and a new Biometric Voter Management System are not put in place.
