Speaking at a press conference in Accra yesterday, EC Executive Vice President Samuel Tettey said the current leadership had addressed similar concerns ahead of the 2020 elections and they relied on the same process to address any discrepancies in the current register.
“The registration has been almost perfect so far, as most of the discrepancies have been completely resolved,” Tettey said at the press conference.
French But Mr Tettey said the commission believed the best place to address the issues they had identified was at the table.
“We urge them to submit details of the discrepancies they have identified for the commission to investigate the issues and demonstrate to them that their concerns have been addressed.
As reported earlier, the EC assured the NDC during the meeting that it would thoroughly investigate and report on the issues identified within a week.

The EC, he said, believed the best way to verify the credibility and integrity of the 2024 electoral register was at the table, not on the streets.
Taking to the streets would not ensure a reliable record and would only cause unnecessary tension and suspicion, Mr Tettey said.
