The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says contrary to claims by the Electoral Commission that the 2020 elections were largely successful, the 2020 elections were poorly conducted.
“The facts show that last year s election was one of the most poorly conducted, flawed and manipulated election in the history of this country; a situation that has undermined the strides we have made since the inception of this 4th republican democratic dispensation,” the NDC said at a press conference on Wednesday.
The press conference was in reaction to a communique issued by IPAC following a 2-day workshop to review the 2020 presidential and parliamentary election.
