The Electoral Commission (EC) has reassured the public and stakeholders that it will reveal the electoral calendar for 2024 by the close of February, maintaining the original December 7 date for the general elections despite earlier discussions for a change.

Controversy has emerged over potential alterations to the 2024 election date, triggered by concerns from the Seventh Day Adventist Church regarding the election day coinciding with a Sabbath.

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has criticized the EC for not prioritizing the release of the electoral calendar, labelling their focus on other matters as "unproductive endeavors."

Addressing the concerns, Deputy Chair of the Commission, Dr. Bossman Asare, assured during an appearance before the Public Accounts Committee on Wednesday, February 21, that the EC will soon announce the electoral calendar for 2024."We will certainly disclose it [the calendar] before the end of February. It should be out by the end of this month [February]," Dr. Asare promised.
