The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it remains suspicious over the stolen Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits of the Electoral Commission (EC).
The party had formally asked the EC to provide them with the serial numbers of the BVR kits currently in use for the ongoing Limited Voter Registration process.
But the electoral has rejected the request by the party.
The EC stated that releasing the serial numbers to external parties could pose major risks to the security and integrity of the electoral system and its operations.
“Releasing these serial numbers to any external parties, including political entities, poses a substantial risk to the security and integrity of our registration processes. That is why this has never been done since the biometric voting system was introduced in Ghana.
“The Electoral Commission has nothing to hide. It is important to note that the demand for serial numbers of BVRs if granted, could pose major risks to the security and integrity of our electoral system and operations. Prevention of such risks by declining this request far outweighs any concerns and interests of individual stakeholders.”
But the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah addressing journalists on Thursday, May 9, 2024, said, “The NDC has always been suspicious that the stolen kits could be used to illegally register some people in order to add them to the voters register to enable them to vote on December 7, 2024. That remains our suspicion.”
