Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized the Electoral Commission for allegedly endangering the country's peace, stability, and democracy.

During a discussion on TV3’s political show, Gyamfi expressed confusion over the Electoral Commission's refusal to permit a forensic audit of the voter register.

He argued that if the Commission has nothing to hide, it should accept an audit by an external body.

“I don’t understand why the Electoral Commission is resisting an audit of the voter register. They seem intent on undermining the peace, stability, and democracy of the country. What are they trying to conceal? We demand that a third party scrutinize the voter register,” Gyamfi stated.

In response to the NDC’s planned protest against the Electoral Commission, the Accra Regional Police Command has reached an agreement with the opposition party.

The protest is scheduled for Tuesday, September 17, 2024.

In a letter signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police and Deputy Regional Commander Emmanuel Aryee Akonnor, addressed to the NDC, the police confirmed the demonstration would begin at 7:00 a.m.

The NDC's National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, announced a nationwide demonstration on September 17 against the Electoral Commission over its refusal to conduct a forensic audit of the voter register ahead of the December elections.

He cited suspicions due to a lack of transparency from the EC as a key reason for the protest.
