Elections 2020: EC has secretly printed extra 1 million ballots papers for Ashanti Region – NDC

 NDC’s Deputy Director of elections Mr Daniel Amartey Mensah has alleged that the electoral commission under the watch of Jean Mensah who was appointed into office by Nana Addo has secretly printed.

As bitterly lamented by this NDC lead-member, the electoral commission has covertly printed 1 million Presidential ballot booklets meant for the Ashanti Region.

During an interview with Okay FM, he said;

The explanation from the Electoral Commission (EC) that the additional materials are meant for a run-off should the need arise, does not add up…

The reprinting was for the Parliamentary and not for the Presidential and so our agents blew the alarm and the explanation given by the EC was that the Presidential ballot papers our people saw were for a run-off should the need arises

If there will be a run-off, do we need all the 12 Presidential Candidates on the ballot paper? EC is pretending not to know about the extra 1 million booklets of ballot papers for the Presidential Candidates for the Ashanti Region….”

The EC is complicit in the printing of 1 million booklets of ballot papers for the Presidential Candidates for the Ashanti Region. The question is, who will pay the printing house for that additional printing and who gave out the contract to the printing house?” he asked.

Whenever we complain about the activities of the Electoral Commission, people think that the NDC is just making empty noise to disturb the operations of the Commission and also to make the Commission appear before the public as an evil entity

This is a disturbing revelation and we are wondering what is going on in other printing houses. The EC’s credibility in this situation is questionable”, he indicated.
