The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to promptly unveil the calendar of activities for the upcoming election year.

Additionally, the NDC is emphasizing the need for the EC to prioritize vital tasks aimed at bolstering the integrity of the December 7, 2024, elections.

In a recent Facebook post, the Director of Elections for the NDC, Dr. Omane Boamah, emphasized that moving forward, the EC should take decisive actions, including penalizing officials who engage in election rigging and addressing instances of open political affiliations by EC officers.

“EC must be seen to be punishing erring EC officers who rig elections for contestants and the EC must also be punishing the EC officer in Nandom who openly declared his NPP affiliation during last weekend’s NPP primaries,” He added.

Dr. Boamah also stressed that the party anticipates the EC to implement important reforms, such as conducting elections in November, without waiting for the next election year.

He concluded by advocating for the electoral process reform to be completed by 2027, allowing political actors ample time in 2028 to focus on crucial matters during an election year.

“The process must end the latest by 2027 to allow political actors enough time in 2028 to concentrate on core concerns in an election year,” he added.
