The Director of IT and Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Edward Omane Boamah, has stated that Parliament has a crucial role in demonstrating how the NDC intends to respond to the upcoming December 7 elections.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, October 22, he articulated his views amid the ongoing political tension surrounding the four vacant parliamentary seats.

The dispute began on October 15, 2024, when Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson invoked Article 97(1)(g) of the 1992 Constitution, raising significant concerns regarding the status of the four seats.

This action led to a contentious situation as the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, declared these seats vacant, which sparked immediate backlash from the NDC.

Despite the Supreme Court's ruling to stay the Speaker's declaration, NDC MPs have publicly stated their intention to disregard the court's decision, asserting that they will follow the Speaker's directives instead.

This defiance has resulted in a heightened political and legal confrontation, involving two affected MPs from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), one from the NDC, and one independent MP.

"We insist the interparty multi-stakeholder audit of the IT system of the Electoral Commission must be done, and his audit will seal the leaking roof and expose the criminals at the Electoral Commission who masterminded the disruption of the voters register in order to prevent recurrence."

"Today, Parliament has a singular responsibility to show how the NDC will react when the courts descend," he stated.

Dr Omane Boamah's comments underscore the growing tension within Parliament, as the NDC's stance may have significant implications for their strategies in the lead-up to the elections.
