The Deputy National Director of Elections of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Tanko Rashid Computer, has expressed concern about the readiness of the Electoral Commission (EC) for the December 2024 general elections.
He says the Commission has not submitted its programme of activities, raising questions about its preparedness to conduct the 2024 general elections.
Speaking on JoyNews Newsfile on Saturday, February 3, Dr Rashid cited the recent District Assembly elections as the EC's lack of readiness.
He mentioned issues such as shortage of ballot papers and problems with the electoral register that hindered some people from voting.
"This year they are going to do another registration. At the time we were at the IPAC meeting, the Electoral Commission did not have the roadmap for the 2024 election. They have not given us the road map and their programme of activities.
"We asked for it, and they told us at the next IPAC meeting, they were going to make it available. The next IPAC meeting we attended, up till now, they didn’t have it," Dr Rashid stated.
He explained that the EC is currently advertising for people to apply to become returning officers for the upcoming elections, stressing that the Commission has not yet submitted its programme of activities to the political parties, as required.
“That is why I say, their posture tells us that they are not even ready, for me, even for the December 2024 elections,” he added.
