Ghana’s scheduled registration for the 9th Parliament has been put on hold indefinitely due to the Electoral Commission’s (EC) failure to transmit the list of duly elected Members of Parliament from the December 2024 general elections. Apexnewsgh reports
This delay has caused a significant disruption, as the registration was expected to kick-start preparations for the incoming parliamentary term.
According to a statement from Parliament’s Secretariat, the postponement is primarily due to the unavailability of the certified list of MPs-elect from the EC. The statement expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and assured stakeholders that updates will be provided as soon as the EC fulfils its obligation.
Observers have raised concerns over the delays, highlighting the importance of timely certification of elected officials to ensure a smooth transition and functionality of the next Parliament.
The EC has yet to release an official statement explaining the delay, prompting political analysts and civil society groups to urge the Commission to expedite the process.
This development has brought attention to the need for improved efficiency and transparency in Ghana’s electoral processes. Stakeholders are calling for reforms to prevent such occurrences in future elections, emphasizing the importance of a well-functioning democratic system.
