EC Sets April 9 For Emergency IPAC Meeting

The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced an emergency Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, aimed at addressing pressing issues with political parties.

The decision to convene the meeting follows calls from the main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), urging the EC to engage with political parties regarding several unresolved matters. These include the recent incidents of missing laptops and the return of outstanding Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs).

In its invitation letter to political parties, the EC outlined the agenda for the meeting, which will cover crucial topics such as the forthcoming voter registration exercise, updates on the Ejisu by-elections, and the status of the commission’s biometric equipment. Additionally, any other related concerns raised by political parties will be addressed during the meeting.

The outcome of the emergency IPAC meeting is expected to provide clarity on key issues, strengthen communication channels between the EC and political parties, and pave the way for a smooth and successful electoral process in the future.
