The opposition National Democratic Congress, will later today, brief the press on some recent electoral reforms proposals made by the Electoral Commission (EC) following a two-day IPAC meeting. The Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting said it was considering some 21 reforms including closing polls in the future on election days at 3:00pm instead of 5:00pm. The IPAC meeting was however without the NDC; the party has since the December 7, 2020 elections boycotted activities of the Commission. He added that “The IPAC invitation was sent to all the parties; if we had deliberately left out the NDC, then there would have been a problem.”Ahead of the next general elections, the NDC has hinted at capturing its electoral reforms proposal in a document. But some parties including the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) say the NDC’s absence at IPAC is a blessing in disguise for them.
