Truck and Voters Registers Captured in Viral Video Not Ours- EC
The Deputy Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC) in charge of Operations, Samuel Tettey, has stated that the vehicle and voters registers that were captured in a viral video do not belong to his outfit.
He emphasised that the Commission’s registers are black and white and not coloured as shown in the video.
“The Electoral Commission (EC) has taken note of a video circulating on social media which shows a copy of a supposed Voters Register for Ahafo Ano 1 and 2 being transported in a white pick-up truck together with other registers.
“The Voters Register shown in the video is not that of the EC. The Commission’s registers are black and white and not coloured as shown in the video… Additionally, it is instructive to note that the truck in the video does not belong to the Commission,” he said in a press statement issued on December 4.
He believes the registers captured in the video belong to a political party.
“It is important to note that the Commission provides the Final Register to the Political Parties. As has been the practice, the Political Parties also print the Final Register for their Agents.
Urging the public to disregard it, he asserted that the video is calculated to create suspicion and mistrust for his outfit and its work.
Meanwhile, it has furthered the case to the police for investigation.
“We urge the Police to investigate this matter. The registration number of the pick-up truck, which is visible in the video, should be able to assist the Police in their investigations.”
