The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has asked its Regional Directors and District Officers not to comment on the petition the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is going to submit to them today.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is today, Tuesday, September 17, 2024, staging a demonstration against the EC for its failure to heed to the party’s call to conduct a forensic audit on the voters’ register.
The protest, dubbed; Enough is Enough, according to the NDC, is to submit their petition to the offices of the EC across all the 16 regions on what it wants the Commission to do sanitise the electoral roll.
In a memo presented to the Regional Directors and District Officers Monday, September 16, sighted by OnuaOnline, the Deputy Chairman of the Commission in Charge of Corporate Services, Samuel Tettey, informed the officers not to make any remarks upon receipt of the petitions.
He, however, required of them to tell the NDC that their petition will duly be submitted to the Commission.
Find below the memo from the Commission:
I bring you warm greetings from the Commission and trust that this memo finds you well.
As you may be aware, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) planned demonstration would take place tomorrow Tuesday 17h September, 2024. As publicized by the organizers, the demonstrators may submit a petition at the regional and district offices of the Commission as well.
This memo therefore comes to request all Regional Directors and District Offieers to receive the petition on behalf of the Commission.
Please upon receipt of the petition, do not make any remarks but rather inform them that you would forward their petition to the Commission.
Please take note and act accordingly.
Thank you.
