The National Democratic Congress has reversed its intention to boycott meetings of the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC).
The party’s general secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey disclosed this in statement.
The statement which was issued Sunday, January 28, 2024 and said it has rescinded the decision after “enhanced consensus-building.”
The leadership of the NDC boycotted IPAC meetings in 2021due to “lack of candour, odious duplicity, and open bias that was displayed by the Jean Mensah-led Electoral Commission in favour of the New Patriotic Party in the conduct of the 2020 general elections.”
But the NDC in the latest statement said it will go back to IPAC.
“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 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.”
Below is the full statement:
