The spokesperson for the Works and Housing Ministry, Manasseh Atta Boahene, has mocked the National Democratic Congress for their conduct in raising issues with the compilation of an election register.

During a conversation on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show, he stated that the NDC has failed to provide evidence of their claims regarding the compilation of the voter register by the Electoral Commission, which led the party to organise a nationwide demonstration dubbed ‘Enough is Enough’ against the EC.

Following the protest, the EC held an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, October 1 with political parties cleared to contest in the upcoming December 7 general elections, to address discrepancies in the provisional voters' register and outline the steps taken to resolve them.

Describing the NDC as unserious and propagandists, Mr. Boahene accused the NDC of failing to show evidence of their allegations.

“The NDC went on a rampage and were making all sorts of allegations that there are about 350 discrepancies in the voter register. The least they could have done was that when they were going to the IPAC meeting, they could have submitted the documents; they should have gone with the evidence as they were claiming so that they will be able to challenge the presentation by the Electoral Commission, but what did we witness? It is not for you to come and tell Ghanaians because we all saw it, that you had no evidence whatsoever. I’m sorry to say this, but NDC is the joke of the century,” he told the host, KMJ.

Mr. Boahene said that the NDC could have tendered in the evidence rather than causing rife among party members by going ahead with the protest and claiming that the EC is trying to rig the elections for the New Patriotic Party.

He said the NDC representatives at the IPAC meeting could have challenged the EC’s presentation with concrete evidence, but they failed, which he thinks is a disgrace to Ghana’s democracy.

The NDC again alleged that about 50,000 dead people had been identified in the voter register, which Mr. Boahene said was senseless if there was no proof for such claims.

He commended the EC for televising the IPAC meeting for the first time to allow all citizens to witness the proceedings.
