The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced that it has rejoined the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC).
A press release dated January 28 signed by the General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey said the NDC looks forward to robust consensus building during deliberations.
“The NDC is optimistic about the revitalization of the IPAC, drawing inspiration from the robust Consensus Building Platform established during the tenures of Dr. Afari–Gyan and Charlotte Osei as Chairpersons of the Electoral Commission of Ghana,” Mr Kwetey wrote.
The party said it, “anticipates collaborative endeavors that will strengthen Ghana’s electoral system, benefiting not only individual political parties but also upholding the democratic values of the nation.”
On Wednesday, April 21, 2020, NDC boycotted the IPAC meeting to review the 2020 parliamentary and presidential elections.
The party said it declined the invitation by the EC because of the lack of candor, odious duplicity, and open bias that was displayed by the Jean Mensah-led EC in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the conduct of the 2020 general elections.
Johnson Asiedu Nketia in a statement said it is the considered view of the NDC, that the current leadership of the EC who supervised the manipulation of the 2020 general elections and the stolen verdict that resulted from same, lack the integrity, credibility, and impartiality to lead any such discussions or review of the very elections they rigged.
The NDC said it has thoroughly examined the dubious role the EC played in the rigging of the 2020 general polls.
