NDC rejects the EC’s election date modification suggestion.

The NDC has rejected the Electoral Commission’s suggestion to move the election schedule from December 7 to November 7.

The idea was presented during the latest Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Monday, January 22, 2024.

The Electoral Commission not only proposed a change in the election date, but also advised that election days be declared national holidays.

However, the NDC, through its Director of Elections, Dr. Omane Boamah, has rejected the plan, stating the party’s vehement opposition to any changes to the existing election timeframe.

• EC justifies demand for election date modification.

In response to the proposal, Dr. Omane Boamah emphasized the party’s commitment to maintaining the current election date and urged the Electoral Commission to embark on a comprehensive review of the electoral process.

He stressed the importance of inclusive and proper dialogue to address any concerns or improvements needed in the electoral system.

Despite the NDC’s firm stance against changing the election date, Dr. Omane Boamah highlighted the party’s willingness to engage in discussions about voting on prayer or worship days.

He provided details to support the argument that voting on prayer or worship days does not adversely affect the overall turnout of the elections.
