The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has reaffirmed the party’s demand for a credible voters’ register ahead of the December 7 elections, emphasizing that the only way to achieve this is through a forensic audit by the Electoral Commission (EC).
Addressing supporters at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra, Asiedu Nketiah urged them to remain steadfast in their demands for electoral transparency, highlighting the importance of their nationwide protest across all 16 regions of Ghana.
“Our demand is simple,” he said. “We want the EC to ensure a free, fair, and transparent election and a credible register is central to that goal.”
The NDC’s nationwide demonstrations are part of their efforts to press the EC to take steps toward addressing concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
“We want nothing but transparent elections that will guarantee our right to choose our leaders. Without the right of self-determination, democracy is good as gone and every democracy at one point in time, comes under threat Ghana’s democracy is under serious threat now and we want to prevail.
“We shall overcome because every democracy has the risk of producing a tyrant but our ability to fight that tyrant and restore democracy once again is paramount and we shall prevail.
“Elections alone do not guarantee democracy, it is democratic-minded citizens who are ready to fight for them who can guarantee democracy.”
