Dr. Rashid Tanko, Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the opposition NDC has called for the dismissal of the team responsible for generating and publishing infographics of data in the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.
This comes after the Electoral Commission (EC) announced a change in the team.
According to the Commission, this change aims to prevent the dissemination of erroneous figures.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Deputy Commissioner in Charge of Operations, Mr. Samuel Tettey, stated that rigorous mechanisms have been implemented to avoid future errors.
"The Commission apologises for the error," he added.
However, Dr. Rashid Tanko expressed dissatisfaction with the assurances provided by the Commission. He argued that individuals found complicit should be dismissed rather than reassigned.
"It is not enough for us. Heads should roll at the Electoral Commission. Changing the team is not enough. It is not the answer. What is the quality assurance going on at the Electoral Commission that led them to churn out those fake figures?
"The one who presided over all that should step aside. That is what a serious country should be built on, not just asking that people should be changed. What is the meaning of that?"
Meanwhile, the EC reports that the Volta region has recorded the highest number of challenged cases, while the Ashanti region leads in overall registered voters.
