Deputy Constituency Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Anyaa Sowuttuom, Ralph Apetorgbor, has alleged that the Electoral Commission is closely aligned with the current government.

He has argued that the Electoral Commission's refusal to address concerns and appeals to open up the ongoing limited voter registration process poses a significant threat to the nation's governance.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, coinciding with the commencement of the limited registration exercise nationwide, Ralph Apetorgbor emphasized that this stance taken by the EC should be a cause for concern for everyone, both within and beyond the country's borders.

“The unholy alliance between Jean Mensa's EC and the NPP is a threat to our democracy. The EC's decision to ignore the call by political parties to open up the limited registration process to be conducted at the electoral areas is a testament that Jean Mansa and her commissioners are ‘inside the deepest corner of Nana Akufo-Addo's pocket.’

“Ghanaians and the international community should be worried! No wonder the EC is a monumental disgrace,” he wrote.

The Electoral Commission of Ghana has officially commenced a limited voter registration exercise, effective today, September 12, 2023, at all its regional offices nationwide.

This registration process, characterized by criticism regarding its design, is scheduled to conclude on October 2, 2023.
