The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has reiterated the party’s call for a credible voters’ register ahead of the December 7 elections. He firmly stated that the only way to achieve this is through a forensic audit conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC).
Speaking to supporters at Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra, Asiedu Nketiah encouraged them to stay committed to their demand for electoral transparency, stressing the importance of their ongoing nationwide protests across all 16 regions of Ghana.
“Our demand is simple,” he explained. “We want the EC to ensure a free, fair, and transparent election, and a credible register is central to that goal.”
These demonstrations by the NDC are aimed at pushing the EC to address concerns about the fairness and integrity of the electoral process.
“We want nothing but transparent elections that will guarantee our right to choose our leaders,” Asiedu Nketiah declared. “Without the right of self-determination, democracy is as good as gone, and every democracy faces challenges at some point. Right now, Ghana’s democracy is under serious threat, but we will prevail.”
He added, “We shall overcome because every democracy has the risk of producing a tyrant, but our ability to fight that tyrant and restore democracy is paramount. Elections alone do not guarantee democracy; it is the democratic-minded citizens ready to fight for it who truly safeguard democracy.”
