The Minority in Parliament has demanded that leadership of the Electoral Commission and the National Identification Authority are brought before Parliament immediately to answer questions relating to the total number of registered voters.
Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu on the floor of the House on Friday alleged that the EC is planning to ditch its voters’ database and rely on the data of the National Identification Authority.
According to him, the number of registered voters by the Electoral Commission does not tally with the number of registered voters on the roll of the NIA.
The Tamale South MP questioned the authenticity of the EC’s own data and demanded the two institutions be summoned by the Speaker to clear any confusion on the number of registered voters.
“We need a reconciliation of the numbers because we are convinced that Article 42 confers a right on Ghanaians to be registered as voters by the EC… We want the two bodies to come here, let us see the discrepancy in your numbers,” he said.
