Election 2024: Stolen BVR kits could be used to illegally register people – NDC
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has once again expressed its concern regarding the stolen Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits of the Electoral Commission (EC).
The EC revealed in April that a number of BVR kits had been stolen from its possession. Three persons were subsequently arrested and are in police custody over the missing BVRs.
The NDC also formally asked the EC to provide them with the serial numbers of the BVR kits currently in use for the ongoing Limited Voter Registration process.
Addressing journalists on Thursday, May 9, the National Chairman of NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, said, “The NDC has always been suspicious that the stolen kits could be used to illegally register some people in order to add them to the voters register to enable them to vote on December 7, 2024. That remains our suspicion.”
In a statement issued on Thursday, May 9, the EC stated that releasing the serial numbers to external parties could pose major risks to the security and integrity of the electoral system and its operations.
