The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says it is aware of concerns raised by some presidential hopefuls on the voter’s register, and hence neither they nor their representatives need to inappropriately raise such matters in the public domain.
According to the party, such a public outcry only portrays the electoral roll as unreliable.
Some aspirants’ campaign teams have expressed concerns over the register, alleging the presence of errors.
In a press statement from the presidential elections committee dated 8th August 2023, and signed by its secretary, William Yamoah, the NPP noted that the committee is actively collaborating with the presidential aspirants to rectify any identified errors.
The party noted that it was for this reason that the register was given to the aspirants in advance to correct any anomalies therein and to avoid any disputes that may emanate from the elections.
The party deemed it regrettable for anyone to incorrectly suggest that the Album is misleading to the Ghanaian public.
“We are aware that complaints about albums have been a subject matter of disputes in the history of our political party elections in the 4th Republic, and this is exactly what the NPP, together with the Presidential Elections Committee, is taking steps to avoid in the current contest. It is therefore unfortunate for anyone to give the impression to Ghanaians that the Album is a fallacy,” a portion of the statement read.
The party added that it is taking steps to ensure successful elections by upholding the principles of fairness, liberty, and transparency throughout the entire process.
“We wish to assure the entire public that the Presidential Elections Committee is determined not only to produce a credible Voter Register but also to ensure that the election process is free, fair, and transparent. In this regard, we continue to invite inputs from interested individuals and Party members”.
