Director of Elections for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Edward Omane Boamah, believes that since the governing New Patriotic Party sees nothing wrong with the voter register, there is something fishy.
Omane Boamah made this known in a post shared via social media.
“We maintain that once the incompetent and corrupt ruling NPP sees everything right with the incompetent and criminally crooked EC, there must be something fishy,” he said.
The Director of Elections for the NDC insists that voters register is fraught with errors and needs an audit even though the commission insist the calls for an audit is premature.
The independent forensic audit will ensure that the upcoming elections reflect the true will of the suffering people of Ghana,”he said.
ELECTORAL COMMISSION (EC): RETURN OUR HARD DRIVE TODAY!

We maintain that once the incompetent and corrupt ruling NPP sees everything right with the incompetent and criminally crooked EC, there must be something fishy…
We also insist that the Electoral Commission headquarters remains a crime scene waiting to be exorcised only after the December 7, 2024 elections.
Fellow Ghanaians, no matter how the EC and their IT team tries to manipulate the data, NDC’s checks and balances shall secure our collective victory in the December polls… We are ahead of the EC.
Why is the EC not returning our hard drive which has been in their custody for the past one week after our encounter with them last week Friday? An encounter which they blocked the media from covering.
EC, return our hard drive now!
Ask the Error-toral Commission (EC) why they’re still keeping our hard drive at their corporate office after seven (7) eventful days!
THE IMMUTABLE FACTS
————————————–
After our meeting last week with the EC about the unfit-for-purpose voters register, three (3) INTERCONNECTEDLY DEPENDENT/CONDITIONAL issues stood out:
- Our non-negotiable demand for an independent forensic audit,
- Submission of our findings for the forensic audit, and
- RE-EXHIBITION of the register after the forensic audit.
The 4th issue is the UNDENIABLE fact that we (NDC) left our hard drive with the EC, and requested that they provide us with their so-called updated register.
Never mind that we started punching holes in their so-called updated register at the meeting when Dr. Yaw Ofori Adjei, one of their IT Consultants, unsuccessfully tried to rely on it to answer a question.
The Electoral Commission must understand that on the basis of their refusal to accept our request for forensic audit and also by refusing to provide us with their so-called updated register, they have eliminated trust and the spirit of cooperation that characterized last Friday’s meeting.
The immutable truth is that the EC has always admitted to the errors we (NDC) point out! Including their infamous CORELDRAW arithmetic errors admission. Never have they been able to prove our #EAGLEEYES wrong!
Let’s face it, even before we would share the fullest extent of the errors we have identified with them, they’ve started rationalizing their criminal manipulation of the register.
It’s a shame that the EC will adopt the ignominous strategy of the outgoing NPP government by justifying their present avoidable and deliberate errors with previous mistakes.
And it’s also depressing to see a decaying state institution like the EC glorify their massive errors, some of which are deliberate.
Errors which would have gone unnoticed but for NDC’s #EAGLEEYES.
We demand an independent forensic audit now!

OUR FINDINGS FROM THE REGISTER SO FAR INCLUDE:
- 243,540 Previous Transfers illegally added to 2024 Transfers, including Repetition of illegally Transferred names.
- 15,000+ Unidentifiable voter transfer paths (due to fake registration of voters???). Where were they originally registered?
- 3,957 voters in 2023 register but deleted from 2024 Provisional Register Due to Transfer
- 2,094 voters transferred to different polling stations but not found in Absent Voter List as required by Law.
- Corrupt files not showing names and photos of the registered voters (what if this happens on election day?).
- More anon…
WHY FORENSIC AUDIT?
————————————-
An independent forensic audit will answer the following questions:
- The Extent of Manipulation: How widespread is the issue of illegal voter transfers? If the Pusiga EC Office could transfer voters from Tamale South Constituency without proper authorization, what is the scale of similar incidents across the country? How many voters might have been affected, and how can this be accurately quantified?
- System Vulnerabilities: What specific vulnerabilities in the Electoral Commission’s systems – Human and Technical – allowed for these unauthorized transfers? Are there specific protocols or security measures that were bypassed or ignored? Specifically, will the EC’s attempts to address these weaknesses prevent further manipulations ahead of the December 07, elections? If yes, what prevented the EC from not instituting such measures?
- Timeliness of Provisional Register: Why was there such an avoidable delay in providing the Provisional Voters Register to the NDC?
- Impact of the Mistakes on the Elections: What is the potential impact of the admitted mistakes and errors by the Electoral Commission on the fairness of the upcoming elections? Will the mistakes compromise the integrity of the election results?
- Historical Comparisons: The EC generalized its mistakes by referencing errors made by past Commissions. How does this comparison help address the current concerns, and what lessons have been learned from previous errors to prevent similar issues in the future?
- Timeline for Corrections: What is the timeline for addressing these issues in order to derive a reliable, credible, accurate and fit-for-purpose voters register before printing of the registers, and other materials will commence as originally planned and agreed at IPAC?
Answering these questions honestly and truthfully through an independent forensic audit is non-negotiable and essential for safeguarding the credibility of Ghana’s electoral process.
The independent forensic audit will ensure that the upcoming elections reflect the true will of the suffering people of Ghana.
We urge the Electoral Commission to immediately desist from needless rationalisation of their avoidable errors!
