Richard Ahiagbah, the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), says the proposed Constitutional Instrument (CI) by the Electoral Commission (EC) is to ensure the verifiability of voters in the 2024 elections.
Before the general elections in 2024, the EC has proposed a Constitutional Instrument (CI) that would make the Ghana Card the only way to register to vote.
This move by the EC has received severe backlash from the minority in Parliament.
On Thursday, February 23, Parliament rejected officials from the EC and the National Identification Authority (NIA) who were in Parliament to brief the House on the proposed CI as they were expecting Madam Jean Mensa herself to appear.
Reacting to the development in a tweet, the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Richard Ahiagbah, said the CI will boost public confidence in the work of the EC if passed by Parliament.
According to Richard Ahiagbah, the passage of the C.I will see to an increased verifiability of voters in the 2024 elections.
“The EC did nothing wrong in 2020; Asiedu Nketiah confirmed it in open court.” What the EC is doing with the C.I. is boosting public confidence in its work and ensuring increased verifiability among voters in the 2024 elections. “The issuance of NIA cards can be resolved,” he tweeted.
