The running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has asked the Electoral Commission (EC) to uphold transparency and refrain from suppressing the truth as we prepare for the 2024 general elections.
Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang stated that the electoral body is facing challenges in defending its credibility, particularly in light of concerns about missing equipment in its custody.
She made the remarks while addressing a gathering at an official ceremony to be the running mate for former President John Dramani Mahama.
She maintained that the EC is struggling to defend its credibility, adding that without clarity and reassurance from the commission, doubts will persist among the public.
“So, the electoral commission is struggling to defend its credibility and until the commission tells us that the equipment means nothing, everyone should believe that there are no issues to worry about. How did disrespect get so high? Actions that impoverish and disenfranchise do not necessarily translate into mindedness in people who are angry, hungry and in people who are oppressed.
“On the contrary, again check the details in our history. Electoral Commission, I address you directly. It is in the national interest and in your own interest to make transparent what has been and is going on in your establishment.
“The truth will not be suppressed. you cannot be so independent as to disregard the people who validate your existence. it cannot happen anywhere. EC, a word to the wise is Assin North,” she stated.
