EC confirms anomalies in figures of Ashanti Region registrants submitted to its headquarters but denies ‘rig plots’

 The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed figures of registrants submitted to its headquarters from two districts in the Ashanti Region were over-computed.

Regional Director, Benjamin Bannor Bio, explained the anomaly was detected in returns for the first six days for Sekyere South and Offinso North.

He blames the situation on failure of electoral officers to  file  daily reports but  rather submitted accumulated figures.

The explanation is in response to accusation by the NDC the EC is padding figures in favour of the governing NPP.

Mr. Bannor Bio says the situation has already been ratified together with political parties agents at the various centers. Speaking to Nhyira Fm, Mr. Bio attributed the situation to lack of communication .

He adds “the NDC regional secretary Kwame Zu personally called me and l explained everything to him on phone so am surprise they continue to see it as a big case”.

Mr. Bannor Bio explains “all tabulated figures remains provisional and has no direct consequences on the final figures which would be automatically generated by the registration machines after the exercise”.

He assures all interested stakeholders of much transparency in the exercise.
