EC provides video evidence to debunk NDC claims concerning timeline of PVR availability online
The Electoral Commission of Ghana has clarified that it never stated that it would make available the Provisional Voters Register (PVR) to political parties within a week of the recent IPAC meeting.
Responding to what it said is a statement being peddled around by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that states otherwise, the EC said what its chairperson, Jean Mensa, said was that it would be made available within two weeks or earlier.
“The Electoral Commission (EC) has taken note of a statement by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the effect that the EC promised to make the revised Provisional Voters Register (PVR) available to the Political Parties within a week of the IPAC meeting as follows: ‘the Functional Executive Committee of the NDC has deliberated and decided to accept the ECs promise to release to political parties, the corrected/updated version of the 2024 Provisional Voters Register for scrutiny within one week.’
“For the records, the Chairperson of the EC indicated during the televised IPAC meeting that the Commission would provide the Political Parties with the revised PVR and upload it online within two (2) weeks or earlier. Nowhere in her statement did the Chairperson indicate that the revised PVR would be made available within a week,” the statement said.
The EC further attached a clip of the video, from the live feed, as evidence to this.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we attach the unedited video of the closing remarks made by the Chairperson to this effect,” the statement added.
The EC recently held an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting, which was broadcast live, to address concerns by political parties, particularly regarding the voters register for the 2024 general elections.
