NDC bans 4 companies printing 2024 ballot papers
Recently, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, vowed he would strongly resist any attempt to manipulate the upcoming elections through ballot printing irregularities.
He accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of printing extra ballots during the 2020 election and alleging that the surplus ballot papers were distributed to agents of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Dr Edward Omane Boamah, the NDC’s Director of Elections and IT, also raised serious concerns over the EC’s “ill-preparation” for the upcoming elections on December 7.
He pointed to numerous issues affecting contracted ballot printing companies, including delays, contract cancellations, and quality control issues across multiple printing companies, including YASARKO Printing, Checkpoint Printing, FONSTAT Printing, and the state-owned Ghana Publishing Company, calling into question the EC’s readiness for a smooth election process.
