New Patriotic Party Chairman, Jake Otanka Obetsebi-Lamptey will this evening lay bare all the NPP’s problems with the Electoral Commission as regards the biometric registration process on MultiTV’s Minority Caucus. Since 1992, election processes in Ghana have undergone several changes during successive electoral cycles. The aim has been to continuously improve electoral voting processes in order to entrench a culture of violence free, fair and transparent elections that not only capture the true will of the people but also enable that will of the people to be reflected in declared results.From separate day voting for Presidential and Parliamentary Elections, the nation moved to voting on the same day for both President and Parliamentarians, transparent ballot boxes, picture I.D’s and most significantly, instant declaration and simultaneous transmission of election results from the polling station level.The later innovation put the credibility of declared results almost beyond doubt. Its immediate impact was to localise elections to polling station level. A party’s machinery at the polling station level had to be vigilant because once voting ends and the results are compiled and accepted by party representatives present, the results are declared there and then and transmitted to collation centres at constituency level and thence to national E.C. any interested party can collate and confirm the results as declared by the E.C.Parties have had to fight to institute the reforms. Currently, a proposal to vote based on a biometric voter register is at stake. Whilst declaration of results appears to be reasonably effective, voter registration and identification before vote casting cannot be said to be fool proof. A biometric register with identification system may help and after advocacy, the E.C has announced its readiness to proceed.However, the matter is already problematic. The E.C has been asked to better engage the parties and the High Court has been compelled to pronounce on the legality of procurement processes towards making up the new biometric register.Tonight, the National Chairman of the NPP shares with Ghanaians concerns about the deployment of the proposed register.Minority Caucus asks whether 1. The Biometric Register can solve the identification problems 2. The E.C has adequate time to implement a new system 3. The proposed system will be foolproof.
