The Electoral Commission (EC) has declared its intention to convene an emergency Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, April 9.

This move comes in response to the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s appeals regarding concerns over the scarcity of Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs) and the disappearance of a component of Biometric Verification registration kits.

In a letter dated March 27, 2024, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the NDC’s General Secretary, urged the EC to promptly hold an IPAC meeting to address these critical issues and foster consensus in ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections.

The NDC expressed concerns about the potential impact of the BVD scarcity and the missing component of the electoral process.

In response to the NDC’s letter, the EC sent an invitation to all political parties for a meeting scheduled for April 9, 2024.

The meeting will focus on discussing the upcoming voter registration exercise, the Ejisu by-elections, and providing an update on the commission’s biometric equipment.

The EC also welcomes any other related concerns that political parties may have.
