Politics of Monday, 3 February 2020Source: Graphic.com.ghEC's reasons for new register fraudulent - Inter-Party ResistanceEC Chairperson, Jean MensaThe Inter-Party Resistance Against the new voters' register says the reasons given by the Electoral Commission on why it wants to compile a new voters register are fallacious and must be rejected by all Ghanaians in the interest of safeguarding Ghana's democracy. The "Resistance" which is comprised of political parties including the National Democratic Congress (NDC), All Peoples Congress (APC) and Peoples National Convention (PNC), said the EC was engaging in fraud and inherent lies with the justifications it has provided for a new register. In a presentation titled: Understanding Why Ghana Doesn't Need a New Voters Register for 2020, the IT Director of the NDC, Mr Osei Kwame Griffith's said none of the challenges suggested by the EC undermines the credibility of the current voter's register. He said even though claims by the EC that some of the current mobile registration workstations were faulty were somewhat true, the workstation can be replaced at a far lower cost as compared to replacing the entire register.
