A political strategist and lecturer at the Kumasi Technical University, Dr. Samuel Afriyie, has strongly urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to implement significant reforms in the electoral balloting process.
His call comes in response to longstanding concerns regarding the integrity of elections, which have cast shadows over the democratic process.
Dr. Afriyie highlighted the urgent need for systems that enhance transparency in the voting process, emphasizing that the current reliance on unconventional electoral practices is no longer tenable.
During his appearance on ABC in the Morning, Dr. Afriyie articulated the critical role of transparency in restoring public confidence in electoral outcomes.
He argued that without such reforms, the EC risks perpetuating doubts about the fairness of elections, which can lead to a disenfranchised electorate and undermine the democratic process.
The political scholar’s comments resonate with growing calls from various stakeholders for a more open and accountable electoral framework.
