Former Okaikwei North MP Fuseini Issah has also added his voice to calls for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to return to the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC).

He said that is the only forum the party can make inputs into the work of the Electoral Commission (EC).

The former Okaikwei North MP, who is attempting to stage a comeback speaking in an interview on Metro TV on Thursday insisted that no party forces its views on the EC.

Mr. Issah thus urged the NDC to stop rubbishing the works of the Commission and rather with them.

"I expect that the National Democratic Congress will go back to IPAC and articulate this view and get a reaction of the Electoral Commission rather than coming to rubbish their work, as usual, the operations of IPAC."

"This behaviour is becoming like a cycle that when you’re in opposition and when you’re in government you support the work of the EC. I think we should move away from that," he told Host, Randy Abbey.

His admonishment follows former President John Mahama's Facebook live address on Wednesday making some demands of the EC ahead of the limited voter registration exercise scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 12.

Mr Mahama during the address called on the ECC to decentralise the upcoming limited voter registration exercise to make it easy for more eligible Ghanaians to register.

NDC's 2024 flagbearer said the limited voter registration exercise should be conducted without any bias or interference to guarantee free and fair elections.

He emphasised that it is the responsibility of the EC to uphold the principles of democracy and ensure that the electoral process remains transparent and credible.

“Every Ghanaian deserves a chance to exercise his democratic right. I strongly urge the Electoral Commission to facilitate the registration exercise in all its electoral areas to allow for easy access, and reduce the burden on the citizenry in their quest to register.”

But Mr Issah says all these concerns could have been raised at IPAC for them to be addressed.

Meanwhile is not the only person to have asked the NDC to return to IPAC.

Dr Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, the former Chairman of the EC has also made a similar appeal to the largest opposition political party in the country.

For him, IPAC is the forum the party achieved the free and fair elections, it seeks in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

“The IPAC makes it possible for political parties to know and make inputs to the important thing the Electoral Commission is doing at any time.

“It makes it possible to discuss the concerns of the parties and makes it possible to contribute to the making of subsidiary legislation, and I will appeal to the NDC to go back.”

“Don’t worry if your ideas are not adopted, please go there and make your ideas felt. Indeed, in some cases, IPAC is the forum for stakeholder dialogue towards achieving common ownership of the electoral system.

“Under Ghana’s Electoral system, there are many opportunities for political parties to participate in Electoral processes that promote free and fair elections,” Dr Afari Gyan advised.

The largest opposition party commenced its boycott of IPAC in 2021 after the 2020 general elections.

This was after the EC on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, scheduled a meeting to afford the various political parties the opportunity to review the December 7, 2020, general elections.

But, the NDC which was challenging the polls boycotted and has not returned to IPAC since then and has not returned since.
