Dr. Clement Apaak, Member of Parliament for Builsa South, validated the push for a forensic audit of the voters’ register on September 17, 2024, pointing to broad participation and substantial irregularities, particularly in Bolgatanga.
The extensive discrepancies undermine the register’s credibility, requiring comprehensive audit.
Dr. Apaak endorsed a collaborative audit by local and international experts. He reiterated the NDC’s commitment to sustained protests, as announced by Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, until concerns are addressed. Dr. Apaak stressed that protecting Ghana’s democracy demands collective responsibility and active engagement.
He said with the magnitude of discrepancies identified in the register, the current register cannot be credible by mere assurances from those under whose watch the discrepancies were recorded.
He maintained that the call for a forensic audit was justified, and this must be done through a collective approach through the involvement of experts from local and international spheres.
He asserted that it is our collective responsibility as Ghanaians to ensure that the democracy we have enjoyed over the years is preserved by fighting for it and defending it at all costs.

Ghanaians of all walks of life were out in their numbers on the streets of Bolgatanga, as they did in other regional capitals yesterday, calling for a credible voters register.
With the magnitude of discrepancies exposed so far, the voters’ register can’t be credible by mere assurances from those under whose watch the discrepancies were birthed.
The need for a forensic and independent audit by a collective, including experts, local and international, has been justified beyond any doubt.
The signal by Chairman Nketiah that we will continue protesting at the district level is no empty threat, and neither is the signal by our Minority leader to cause a recall of Parliament on this matter of grave importance.
It’s our collective responsibility to protect our democracy by fighting for it and defending it at all costs. Stand up and be counted.
In Solidarity,
Dr. Clement Apaak
MP/PC, Builsa South
