In a press statement issued Friday, December 18, 2020, the EC said it has noted allegations by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) purporting that the Commission’s directive to deactivate the Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs) constitutes an illegality as deactivation would destroy evidence related to verified voters for the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections.

“The Electoral Commission categorically states that these assertions are FALSE,” it said.

This was demonstrated during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held on Wednesday, 2nd December, 2020. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Political Parties including Mr. Peter Boamah Otokunor (Deputy General Secretary) and Mr. Daniel Amartey (Deputy Director, Elections) of the NDC, Civil Society Organisations and Development Partners.

The EC said the demonstration of the BVD was prompted by a similar allegation by the NDC that the deactivation of BVDs would result in the loss of data “It is therefore unfortunate that the NDC would continue to make such misleading,” it added.
