The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has sued the Electoral Commission over attempts by the electoral Commission to compile a new voters’ register ahead of the 2020 general elections.
According to the NDC, the EC can only “compile a register of voters only once, and thereafter revise it periodically, as may be determined by law.”
The Attorney General has also been cited as a defendant in the case.
In the writ to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, the opposition NDC among other things demanded for a “declaration that upon a true and proper interpretation of Article 45(a) of the 1992 Constitution, 2nd Defendant [the EC] has the constitutional power to, and can, compile a register of voters only once, and thereafter revise it periodically, as may be determined by law. Accordingly, 2nd Defendant can only revise the existing register of voters, and lacks the power to prepare a fresh register of voters, for the conduct of the December 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections.”
