Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu has said that the failure of the Jean-Mensa-led Electoral Commission (EC) to audit the voter register poses a threat to Ghana’s democracy.

He says the Chair of the Commission will be held liable if Ghana’s democracy is destroyed.

“We will hold Jean Mensa solely responsible should anything happen to Ghana’s democracy,” he said.

He stressed ” Jean Mensa, don’t throw our beloved country Ghana into chaos and situation you will run away from,” the former Minority Leader said on the Hot Issues on TV3 Sunday September 22.

He added, “What is this holier than thou attitude the EC Chair is projecting, the Commission is only relevant so far as it’s still serving the citizens.”

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) held their ‘Enough is Enough’ nationwide demonstration on Tuesday, September 17 to press home their demand for the audit of the voter register.

“Our demand is simple,” National Chairman of the NDC Johnson Asiedu Nketia said.

He added “We want the EC to ensure a free, fair, and transparent election and a credible register is central to that goal.

“We want nothing but transparent elections that will guarantee our right to choose our leaders. Without the right of self-determination, democracy is good as gone and every democracy at one point in time, comes under threat Ghana’s democracy is under serious threat now and we want to prevail.

“We shall overcome because every democracy has the risk of producing a tyrant but our ability to fight that tyrant and restore democracy once again is paramount and we shall prevail.”
