The 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Effutu constituency of the Central Region, James Kofi Annan is asking the Electoral Commission to, as a matter of urgency, conduct an audit of the entire 2024 Effutu constituency voter register.

He is also demanding the deletion of all those who have been illegally transferred onto the 2024 Efftutu voter’s register and a re-exhibition of the register.

He alleges that some 3,009 voters have been transferred onto the register at the blind side of the NDC.

According to Mr Annan, the end of the 2024 official voter transfer exercise, conducted from May 30 to June 14, 2024, resulted in 6,218 transfers, as recorded in daily printouts shared with political parties.

Also, a three-day mop-up exercise for students and security personnel, held from July 3–5, 2024, added 846 voters to the Effutu register. This brought the total number of official voter transfers to 7,024, the highest in the Central Region.

However, upon examination during the voters’ exhibition, “we have discovered that the total number of voters transferred have jumped to 9,897.

“This means that the Electoral Commission secretly transferred 3,009 voters onto the register at the blind side of the NDC,” he claimed.

He added “We have always maintained that the Electoral Commission has been manipulating the Effutu constituency electoral system in favour of the NPP.

“In the year 2020, the Effutu voter’s register was bloated by an estimated 20,000 voters. Almost all those illegal voters are still in the register. We are not going to sit down for additional names to be illegally added to the register.”

Mr Annan also raised the issue of the EC’s compliance with the CI that is guiding the 2024 elections since they discovered that over 70% of all the transfers done by the Effutu constituency EC to the register were done without any basis.

“This we believe is illegal, and a mere importation of voters into the constituency,” he noted.

Mr Annan further touched on the unresolved issue of the alleged 126 military officers who were reported to have been illegally transferred onto the Effutu Constituency register.

This comes after the EC admitted that some of its officers have transferred voters illegally.

Per the provision of the law, a registered voter must be physically present to request for the transfer of vote to another polling station.

“The transfer of vote can only be done at the district offices and requires the presence of the voter which must be verified using either his or her face or fingerprints,” Deputy Chairman in charge of Corporate Services, Dr Bossman Asare, told a press conference in Accra on Monday.
