The Electoral Commission has said allegations that 21,000 names have been deleted from the electoral roll in the Ashaiman constituency are false.

Member of Parliament for the area, Ernest Henry Norgbey, alleged that 21,000 names including his own could not be found in the register in the ongoing exhibition exercise.

He accused the EC of deliberately removing such names from the register to disenfranchise them.

But speaking to Peace FM News, the Director of Electoral Services at the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr Serebour Quaicoe, disagreed with the claims made by the Ashaiman MP.

The EC also disputed claims that the name of the Ashaiman MP has been omitted from the 2020 provisional voters register.

Snapshots of the provisional register from the Ashaiman constituency available to Peacefmonline.com from the Electoral Commission displays the name of the Member of Parliament, his photograph and other registration details.

According to him, the provisional number of registered voters in the provisional register in the Ashaiman constituency is 160,058, which is below the 167,000 names the Member of Parliament has quoted.

Find attached a statement from the Electoral Commission refuting the claims.
