Member of Parliament for Akuapem South, Osei Bonsu Amoah, has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for calling for a forensic audit of the Electoral Commission’s (EC) IT team.
According to him, the NDC should take their concerns to court instead of making unsubstantiated public allegations.
Speaking on Accra-based Adom FM on Tuesday after an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on October 1, Mr Amoah expressed frustration with what he described as the politicization of the EC’s work.
He also commended the EC for making the IPAC meetings open to the media, ensuring transparency and preventing political parties from distorting facts after the meetings.
“We shouldn’t politicize everything. If you have allegations, you need to provide evidence and go to court instead of wasting our time. It’s good that the Electoral Commission has made the IPAC meetings open to the media, so that there is transparency and people can’t say different things after each meeting,” he said.
Mr Amoah also urged the NDC to focus on addressing their concerns through proper channels rather than involving the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in baseless accusations.
“NDC should focus on registering their concerns with the voter’s register and stop dragging NPP into it. Saying that the EC wants to steal votes for the NPP is dragging us into the matter. In 2015, when we disagreed with the EC, we took the matter to court. The EC works with principles, so allow them to do their job and stop politicizing the Commission,” he added.
