The order prohibiting political party representatives from seeing the vote transfer exercise has been rescinded by the Electoral Commission (EC).

After violent fights at several facilities, the EC first restricted entry, drawing criticism from civil society organizations and political parties.

Opponents, primarily the National Democratic Congress (NDC), contended that this action might cause anomalies in the election process and jeopardize democracy.

The leader of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama, charged that the electoral commission (EC) was trying to work with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rig the general elections scheduled for December 7.
