His words carried the weight of a nation’s uncertainty as he denounced the current state of affairs surrounding Ghana’s voters’ register, branding it as nothing short of “incurably defective.”
A looming shadow of doubt cast over the Electoral Commission (EC) as Dr. Omane Boamah criticized their tardiness in releasing the register to the NDC before the crucial exhibition exercise. Despite the hurdles faced, he commended the NDC’s relentless efforts to scrutinize the register, vehemently asserting its unsuitability for its purpose.
With fervor in his voice, Dr. Omane Boamah unveiled a litany of discrepancies that marred the integrity of the register. Distressing revelations poured forth as he exposed missing names, erroneous categorizations of qualified voters, and the unsettling presence of disqualified individuals in the provisional register.
Instances of unauthorized voter transfers and deficient biometric checks in proxy voting applications further fueled the growing skepticism.
Calling for urgent action, the NDC stalwart implored Parliament to launch a comprehensive investigation into the EC’s operations, cautioning that failure to do so would leave both Ghanaians and the international community with no choice but to demand a thorough forensic audit of the controversial register.
In a poignant moment, Dr. Omane Boamah starkly reminded the public of the unsolved theft of crucial Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) laptops and Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs) from the EC’s premises, adding fuel to the fire of suspicion engulfing the electoral process.
As the storm of discontent brewed, Dr. Omane Boamah declared the NDC’s intent to kick off a series of public engagements and demonstrations aimed at shedding light on these pressing concerns, rallying the populace to stand vigilant in the face of electoral uncertainty.
