Anthony Karbo, a senior aide on Dr. Bawumia’s campaign team, Dr. Bawumia has played down the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) “Enough is Enough” demonstration over voter registration, calling it only a “keep fit” activity.
According to Karbo, the NDC is well aware that internal procedures have been put in place by the Electoral Commission (EC) to handle any inconsistencies in the voter registration.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday while on a campaign trip in Kpone Katamanso, he emphasized that the NDC’s demonstrations are not detracting from the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) continued focus on educating the public.
“We’ve been through that path before it didn’t work for us so why do we go back to it? A forensic audit will always do something monumental. There are no two ways about a forensic audit. We are sitting here the American voters register for elections in November is not a perfect register.
“That which was used in London is not a perfect register. Any forensic audit conducted anywhere in the world will reveal some discrepancies but whether those are significant to change the outcome of an election is left to be known. We don’t need any forensic audit.”
“…Many years back when we were asking, they gave us these responses. Many years on, they are now asking what we were asking in the past and they are getting the same responses. Why should we support that?
“… Well, I think it’s an exercise. It’s an exercise. You know, sometimes in this, our politics, there’s a lot of keep fit exercises. People must get out and show force. I mean, those are all the antics leading to an election and I don’t think that is a very serious enough demonstration,” he stated.
