The New Patriotic Party has denied claims that they have a copy of the provisional voters register as claimed by the opposition National Democratic Congress.
According to them, the EC has asked them to bring a hard drive for a copy of the list but they have not received it yet.
Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia program General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. John Boadu explained that they are equally amazed by the NDC’s claim that by law the political parties should have a copy of the provisional voters' register.
"There is no law that states that the electoral commission is expected to provide the various political parties with a copy of the voters' register list. The Electoral Commission is indeed supposed to provide the various political parties with it but there is no law backing it", he added.
According to him, "the NDC can go to court to demand it but what I know is that the electoral commission will provide all political parties with the list when they are done with the compilation".
Meanwhile, Mr John Boadu has jumped to the defence of the EC insisting it is not in breach of regulation 22 (2) of the Public Elections Regulations (Voter Registration) as captured in Constitutional Instrument (CI 91) which states that: “At the end of the compilation of the provisional register as provided in sub-regulation (1), a copy of the provisional register shall be given to each registered political party in the form determined by the Commission.”
According to him, the EC is still within the stipulated time to furnish the political parties with the provisional register, therefore their Presser on the matter is useless.

you see your life, john boadu?
The arrogance ignorance of John Boadu, the connivance of the NPP with EC to rig the 2020 elections and the wicked plot of the NPP has been exposed. God is good all the time.
the EC ASKED YOU TO SUBMIT A HARD DRIVE FOR A COPY BUT FAILED TO TELL THE NDC TO DO SAME, YOU SEE HOW RIDICULOUS YOU LOOK..DO YOU HAVE TO DEFEND THE EC EVERY TIME?
Where is the npp usle s s party people come out to defend
Just a year or two ago the NPP was complaining and calling the NDC the mouthpiece of the EC, no JB is defending the EC. JAH go judge you all one by one
I strongly believe John boadu expected the EC to give NDC same information that is why he went on air. The arrangement had already been discussed between the EC boss and nana addo already behind the scene but john boadu was not informed.
