The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of failing to provide evidence to support its claims of a bloated voter register during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held on October 1.

The meeting, convened by the Electoral Commission (EC) at the Alisa Hotel in Accra, aimed to address concerns surrounding the 2024 voters’ register.

The NDC has alleged that the register contains ineligible voters and other inaccuracies, prompting a nationwide protest on September 17 to demand a forensic audit of the electoral roll.

Despite these allegations, the NPP stated that the NDC missed a crucial opportunity to substantiate its claims during the IPAC meeting.

Speaking to the media after the session, NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua said the NDC had failed to demonstrate any discrepancies in the register.

“All of you [the media] were here. Tell me, all the presentations that were made by their [the NDC’s] reps, at what point in time did they even give us evidence? Did they give us the data that they turned out? None.

“They started talking about propaganda matters, about a roof that is leaking and using the mop to clean it. Is that why we came here? We came here based on the several allegations that you have made. Why did you run away? Why is the NDC running away?
