Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has declared that his caucus will not support any proposal to change the scheduled date for the 2024 elections.

Dr Ato Forson emphasized that there are more urgent issues requiring the EC's immediate attention and urged the commission to prioritize essential matters over what he deemed as "unnecessary issues."

Speaking in Parliament, Dr Ato Forson underscored the Minority's firm stance against any attempt to alter the election date, asserting that the focus should be on preparing the election calendar and addressing pressing concerns rather than diverting attention to non-essential matters.

Moreover, Dr. Ato Forson conveyed the Minority's disapproval of the EC's decision to abandon the use of indelible ink in the upcoming elections, citing significant risks for the integrity of the electoral process. He expressed grave concerns about the potential consequences of this decision, warning of potential chaos at polling stations across the country.

"The use of indelible ink in our electoral process adds another layer to the integrity of elections by ensuring that voters are visibly, transparently, and physically verified in addition to biometric verification," Dr. Ato Forson emphasized.

The Minority Leader urged the EC to reconsider its decision and prioritize measures that enhance the credibility and transparency of the electoral process. He reiterated that the NDC Minority Caucus in Parliament stands firm in its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of Ghana's electoral system.

As discussions surrounding the upcoming elections continue, stakeholders remain vigilant in advocating for measures that uphold the principles of democracy and ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
