Reports claiming that the Electoral Commission (EC) plans to add 25 extra seats before the general elections in 2024 have been refuted.
Tuesday saw a flurry of stories on social media suggesting that the EC plans to expand its constituencies; the electoral management organization refuted this assertion.
It clarified that its goal is to create a single constituency, the Guan.
Below is the EC’s full statement.
RE: CREATION OF 25 NEW CONSTITUENCIES
The attention of the Electoral Commission has been drawn to a statement in the media to the effect that 25 New Constituencies are going to be created ahead of the 2024 General Elections.
The Commission wishes to state for the information of the General Public that it is only creating One Constituency, which is the Guan Constituency in the Oti Region. The Commission has not taken any decision on creating constituencies beyond that of the Guan.
We urge the General Public to disregard this statement.
