Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The National Democratic Congress, NDC in Ashanti region has chastised the Electoral Commission (EC) for what it described as incompetence during Tuesday\u2019s district level elections.<\/b><\/p>\n

The party indicated that the infractions have the tendency to mar the democracy of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost all the 47 constituencies in the Ashanti region have some electoral areas that couldn\u2019t vote yesterday. This shows clear incompetence of the Jean Mensah-led Electoral Commission. If the district level elections could come with challenges, we don\u2019t know what will happen in the 2024 general elections. We must keep an eye on EC to ensure it delivers as expected,\u201d Deputy Regional Secretary for NDC, Baah Acheamfuor said during a media briefing in Kumasi.<\/p>\n

Voting in 281 out of the 1,087 electoral areas in the Ashanti region has been rescheduled to Thursday, December 21, following non-availability of election materials.<\/p>\n

The development left many electorates who were eager to exercise their civic duty, disappointed.<\/p>\n

Some candidates also described it as unfortunate as they claim all the food they prepared for their agents had to go waste.<\/p>\n

The NDC claimed the new date for the election was deliberately chosen to coincide with their 24-hour economy walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe prioritize the elections more than the walk so as to keep an eye on happenings at all the electoral areas, although it is not partisan\u201d, Baah Acheamfuor indicated.<\/p>\n
