In response to widespread objections from Ghanaians and various political parties, the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has reversed its decision to eliminate the use of indelible ink in the upcoming elections.
Dr. Eric Asare Bossman, the Deputy Electoral Commissioner in charge of Corporate Services, highlighted the importance of building trust and consensus ahead of the December polls. He expressed the EC’s commitment to addressing concerns raised by the public and political stakeholders.
Speaking at the launch of the Multimedia Group’s 2024 Election Coverage, Dr. Bossman acknowledged the feedback received from the general public, parliamentarians, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), and civil society members. He emphasized the need to prioritize trust in the electoral process.
The decision to maintain the use of indelible ink comes after the EC faced criticism from the Minority caucus in Parliament, who accused the commission of violating the constitution by considering the elimination of indelible ink. The reversal aims to address concerns and uphold the integrity of the electoral process in the upcoming elections.
By listening to feedback and engaging with stakeholders, the EC is working towards ensuring transparency and credibility in the electoral process, reflecting a commitment to fair and democratic elections in Ghana.
