Protests have erupted in Ghana where thousands of supporters of Ghana’s main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress say they have identified errors in the electoral roll for December’s nationwide poll that require correction.
The NDC alleges discrepancies, including illegal name transfers, missing voters and the inclusion of the names of over 50,000 dead people.
Consequently, the party is demanding an audit of the election roll.
Ghana goes to the polls in December 2024 in a two-horse race between an opposition candidate and former president, John Mahama – and current Vice- President Mahamudu Bawumia.
The election is expected to center around Ghana’s economic recovery following a severe financial crisis in 2022, which forced the government to default on its external debt.
