The Electoral Commission (EC) has set an emergency Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) gathering for Tuesday, April 9, in response to critical issues requiring attention from political entities.

This move comes after the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the primary opposition party, urged the EC to hold discussions with political stakeholders.The NDC specifically raised concerns about missing laptops and the return of certain outstanding Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs).

In an invitation letter to participating parties, the EC outlined an agenda covering various vital topics.These include the upcoming voter registration exercise, the Ejisu by-elections, updates on biometric equipment, and any other pertinent matters.

Mustapha Gbande, the NDC's deputy general secretary, expressed appreciation for the EC's decision to heed their request, calling it a goodwill gesture.He stressed the need to address concerns about potential machine tampering and advocated for adopting prescribed standards and tools to ensure integrity.

Gbande emphasized transparency and reconciliation's significance in safeguarding electoral process credibility, assuring stakeholders that measures would be taken to prevent compromises.
