Dr. Omane Boama, Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized the Electoral Commission (EC) for allegedly manipulating registration figures during the ongoing limited registration exercise. According to Dr. Boama, the EC inflated the number of registered voters on the second and third days of registration, but later removed the figures from their website when they were discovered. Dr. Boama warned the EC against repeating such mistakes, stating, “We have run out of patience!” This accusation comes amidst heightened scrutiny of the registration process by political parties.
Below is Dr Omane Boamah’s statement on his Facebook Wall.
The EC’s highly avoidable and highly possible deliberate misrepresentation of registration.
———————————————————————
Yesterday, after exposing the Electoral Commission of Ghana for misrepresenting figures of registrants in the ongoing limited voter registration exercise, the EC DELETED their error ridden figures on their website.
(We captured some of the errors as follows:
Errors!!! Electoral Commission of Ghana, 19,267 must be the total registered NOT 25,287 for Day 2. Similarly Day 3 should be 48,616 and not 43,417.Who is adding the figures at the headquarters of the Electoral Commission of Ghana? #EagleEyes)
However, the NDC National Elections Directorate had already taken a SCREENSHOT of the original highly avoidable and highly possible deliberate misrepresentation (The screenshot is uploaded below) of figures.
Curiously but not unsurprisingly, the mis-governing NPP is neither worried about the misrepresentation of figures nor the stolen components of the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits under CCTVsurveillance.
In this era of excel, we cannot trust that such elementary errors committed by the EC are mistakes particularly as the EC allowed components of BVR kits to be stolen under CCTV surveillance at their headquarters.
Recall that in declaring the results of the 2020 presidential results (The Stolen Verdict) the EC engaged in such error ridden arithmetic acrobatics which made Akufo-Addo President.
Let me serve a stern warning ⚠️ to the EC and its collaborators: we have run out of patience!
