The Electoral Commission (EC) is expected to appear before Parliament today.
This follows a request by members of the House for an update on the Commission's preparedness ahead of the 2020 polls.
Also expected to be present to brief the House are the National Security Minister and other heads of agencies in charge of security during the election.
Giving more details, Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu said officials from the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) and the National Media Commission (NMC) will also be present.
“Mr Speaker, the EC is in the process of readjusting their own programme for Thursday so possibly we shall see all the major stakeholders come to the house to brief us,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu whose request last week has led to the invitation is making fresh demands.
He added that the Ghana Police Service would also be required to give MPs a list of security personnel being deployed to various constituencies.
“We want the Interior Minister to support the National Security Minister and this time the IGP must be in attendance because we ought to understand the security detail on election day very well,” he stated.
Mr. Iddrisu further noted that the NDC MPs are looking forward to questioning the EC boss on all procurement it has made for the upcoming election as well.
