The Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has criticized the Electoral Commission for postponing local assembly elections in certain areas on the day of the polls.

Dr. Boamah urged the electoral management body not to repeat such actions during the 2024 polls.

This comes in response to the rescheduling of district-level elections in parts of the Ashanti and Eastern regions from Tuesday, December 19, 2023, to Thursday, December 21, 2023.

The EC cited technical challenges for the rescheduling and apologized for any inconvenience caused, assuring voters that the elections would proceed on the new date.

In a post on X formerly Twitter, Dr Boamah said, “The Electoral Commission of Ghana must learn lessons from this avoidable and unpardonable mistake. 2024 elections can not be business as usual!”
