The Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Omane Boamah, has lamented that, the Electoral Commission (EC) cannot wait for an election year to introduce major electoral reforms.
In a Facebook post citing few reasons why the Electoral Commission cannot hold Elections in November 2024, he stated that the decision to hold election in November will delay proposals ahead of the of the polls.
“You don’t wait for an election year to introduce major Electoral Reforms: a year in which the EC has so much to do after an abysmal District Level (Assembly) Elections characterized by postponements after postponements, shortage of ballot papers, some Election officers complicity among others,” he said.
This comes after the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting with political parties on the EC’s proposal to change the date for the election, however, on Monday, January 29, the National Democratic Congress(NDC), were in favour of the change in day of election but should take effect in 2028.
