The Electoral Commission (EC) chairperson, Jean Mensa, has received caution from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Northern to ensure fairness in the general elections in 2024.
According to the EC, plans are being taken to make the Ghana card the only document required for registration.
Nonetheless, the party has given notice that it will not put up with the EC chair’s actions, claiming they are a recipe for turmoil.
Abdallah Baba Zee, the party’s regional organiser, delivered these remarks in Yendi in the Northern area when the party started a health walk in the Yendi constituency.
“We the NDC are sending a word of caution to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission to be very careful about the steps she is taking. The EC is seeking to use the Ghana Card as the only document for the limited registration. The constituency center is the only place for registration. We are sending a strong warning to the EC chair that we will not sit down for such to happen. It has the potential of disenfranchising many Ghanaians, and we will not accept it” Abdallah Baba Zee said.
However, he cautioned the constituency executives to refrain from openly endorsing any of the candidates in order to preserve party unity, and he urged the candidates to conduct themselves properly when making campaign statements.
“I want to admonish the constituency executives here in Yendi not to openly throw their support for any of the aspirants as this could affect the unity in the party. Again to the aspirants, I want to caution that as you go about your campaign, please be mindful of your language. This is an internal election, and we will surely need one another in the general elections. Let’s use language that is not divisive but preach peace and unity” he said.
