The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it has begun series of consultative meetings with various stakeholders as part of its proposal on Ghana’s electoral reforms.
According to the party, the initiative was premised on its observation of what they described as several serious flaws and failings that affected the credibility of the 2020 elections.
This was announced in a statement signed by its Director of Elections, Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah, which noted a team of experts has been put together for the course.
“Having conducted a comprehensive review and audit of the 2020 elections, the NDC observed several serious flaws and failings that affected the credibility of the elections.
