The National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo says his party and other political parties present at a recent meeting with the Electoral Commission [EC] to deliberate on the compilation of new voters’ register were 'totally lost'. 

According to him, the NDC’s position against the EC's decision to compile a new voters’ register has been justified after the IPAC meeting on Thursday.

He said the EC's IT experts and the political parties experts had a heated argument concerning the technical reasons why there should be a new register.

Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo told Neat FM that all the opposition technical experts felt there was no need. 

"Building a new register is not necessary," he said.

"We are not convinced at all, they ended up even confusing the situation the more,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie”.

The EC, at the instance of its Eminent Advisory Committee [EAC] called a meeting of the Interparty Advisory Committee over the decision to compile a new register for the 2020 elections.

The meeting was held at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel in Accra.

The EC made a renewed presentation to the parties in the presence of some civil society organisations [CSOs] and development partners.

The parties were also asked to make inputs in terms of questions, observations and suggestions.

But the meeting is said to have ended inconclusively as the parties demanded further clarifications on the technical approach of the move.
