Ghana's Opposition Protests Alleged Voter Roll Irregularities Nationwide

The National Democratic Congress demands a forensic audit ahead of December's general election.

  • Protests occurred in all 16 regional capitals, including Accra, with millions reportedly participating.
  • The NDC claims thousands of unauthorized voter roll changes, including transfers and deletions.
  • The electoral commission dismissed the call for an audit as 'misguided,' asserting that errors have been corrected.
  • Protesters submitted a petition to parliament and the electoral commission, calling for a bipartisan probe and immediate publication of audit findings.
  • Ghana's upcoming election will see former President John Mahama of the NDC face Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia of the ruling New Patriotic Party.
