The Electoral Commission (EC) is set to convene an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting today to discuss matters pertaining to the December 7 elections, particularly the electoral timeline.
However, the two primary political parties have noted that they have not received official communication from the EC regarding the schedule.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has voiced reservations about certain elements of the timeline that have been made public. Mustapha Gbande, Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, expressed dissatisfaction with the level of communication between the EC and its stakeholders.
In an interview with Citi News, he stated, “What has been in the Daily Graphic is not a document for stakeholders to consider because the EC must, within the competent discharge of their responsibilities and good faith, sign a document under either the letterhead or the logo and communicate it to the parties.”
Gbande further remarked, “Political parties do not accept correspondence from the EC through publications, and what is even more shameful for them is to come back and say they did not leak it. This is the same way they will leak the 2024 general elections.”
