Mahama criticizes the EC for revealing serial numbers on validation stamps.

Former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concerns over the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to expose serial numbers on validation stamps. According to Mahama, this move compromises the integrity and confidentiality of the electoral process. He emphasized that the visibility of these serial numbers could create loopholes for potential manipulation or interference, raising doubts about the credibility of future elections.

Mahama believes that the exposure of such sensitive details undermines trust in the electoral system. He argued that the EC has a responsibility to ensure transparency and fairness while protecting the sanctity of the voting process. By revealing serial numbers on validation stamps, he contended, the Commission risks opening the process to vulnerabilities that could undermine public confidence in the results.

The former president also highlighted the importance of maintaining strict confidentiality in all aspects of election management. He urged the EC to address these concerns promptly to avoid casting a shadow over the upcoming elections. Mahama’s criticism forms part of his broader call for reforms in Ghana’s electoral process to enhance its credibility and ensure it meets the highest standards of integrity.

This issue has sparked discussions about the EC’s preparedness and commitment to conducting free and fair elections. Mahama’s concerns serve as a reminder of the need for vigilance in protecting the electoral system from any actions that might compromise its reliability and public trust.
