The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially announced its return to the Inter-Party Advisory Committee, (IPAC).
In a release dated January 28, the party expressed optimism about the "revitalisation of IPAC" and emphasised the importance of collaborative endeavors to strengthen Ghana's electoral system.
“The NDC is optimistic about the revitalization of the IPAC, drawing inspiration from the robust Consensus Building Platform established during the tenures of Dr. Afari Djan and Charlotte Osei as Chairpersons of the Electoral Commission of Ghana.”
The statement added that the party anticipates collaborative endeavours that will strengthen Ghana's electoral system, benefiting not only individual political parties but also upholding the democratic values of the nation.
The NDC had boycotted IPAC meetings since March 2020, citing concerns about the posture of the Electoral Commission.

The party had accused the Commission of failing to take into consideration decisions at IPAC meetings as part of its electoral reforms.
However, the decision to rejoin IPAC was reached after an intervention by the National Peace Council, and the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa recently during a conference to evaluate institutional progress towards building the required resilience for credible, transparent, and peaceful general elections in 2024.

Madam Mensah appealed to the NDC to return for the greater consolidation of Ghana's democracy.
The NDC accepted the appeal but emphasised the need for IPAC to return to its "consensus-building" approach before they participate in the next meeting.
