In the game of poker with the EC, the NDC has played a clever hand

The publications by certain media outlets, the print media in particular regarding recent and ongoing tossel between the EC and the ndc on how to emerge with a clean and credible voters register, some discredited newspaper outlets are trying rather unnecessarily and disrespectfully to misinform the public.

For a start, it was only the ndc among a long list of political groupings that spent time, took pains to unearth, and revealed serious discrepancies in the provisional register the electoral commission presented recently. All other parties, including the disgraceful CPP, the party of Nkrumah, whose members can today, side with descendants of the UP tradition in a bid to dupe the vast decerning people of Ghana.

When every other party decided to look away and allow some misguided individuals, who have probably been corrupted by equally unscrupulous machinators in high office, the ndc stood firm. They used midnight lanterns to investigate the documents given by the EC. In the end, they came out with indisputable, unchallengeable evidence of rottenness in vast volumes, which the EC has subsequently made good.

Now, moving forward, the ndc after intense deliberations and wise counselling have decided to allow the EC, the room to manoeuvre, make changes, and come out with a document that can be relied upon. The ndc, contrary to publication by discredited and biase npp backed newspapers, have not reneged on their original quest for a forensic or any sort of audit of the register and the EC'S IT systems.

The ndc has accepted in good faith the EC's offer or promise to clean up the provisional documents and make them available for scrutiny again. This is, in all instances, another audit. The ndc has also asked the EC to allow IT experts from all stakeholders to go through the IT system just to make sure we can all trust in what sort of machines or gadgets we have. So, where from the deceitful assertion that the ndc had dropped its quest for forensic audit.

Now, this is how and why the ndc can be said to have played an ace. After such a hue and cry about the mistakes-ridden register, and about perceived corrupted TI systems which the EC's register compilers and IT chiefs have not denied, who in their perfectly-working brain will allow or acquiesce to a large scale disenfranchisments of Ghanaians, come 7th. December polls. Just think about it.
