NDC Protests Demand Audit of Voter Register in Ghana
News summary

Ahead of Ghana's December presidential elections, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the main opposition party, is leading nationwide protests demanding a forensic audit of the voter register due to reported discrepancies, including the inclusion of over 50,000 deceased individuals and unauthorized name transfers. NDC officials argue that these issues could disenfranchise thousands of legitimate voters and undermine the credibility of the electoral process. The Electoral Commission (EC) has dismissed these claims as unfounded, asserting that previous errors have been corrected and that calls for an audit are unnecessary. Demonstrators across the country have carried placards demanding justice and transparency, while NDC leaders have warned of potential electoral fraud if their concerns are not addressed. The upcoming election is expected to be a tight race between former President John Mahama and current Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, with both candidates promising to address the country's economic challenges. The protests are part of the NDC's strategy to ensure a fair electoral process, with party leaders stating that they will continue their demonstrations until their demands are met.
