Coalition of Domestic Elections Observers (CODEO) has called on the Peace Council to immediately intervene in the standoff and tension brewing between political parties, specifically the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Electoral Commission (EC), in the vote transfer exercise.
The National Co-ordinator of CODEO, Albert Arhin’s call follows the NDC’s opposition to the EC’s directive to political parties to recall their agents from the EC’s offices in the ongoing voter transfer exercise.
During an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Monday, the NDC maintained its position not to withdraw its agents, asking its agents to ignore the EC’s ‘outrageous’ directive.
Also, the NDC noted that it had information indicating that the NPP was moving some voters from different constituencies to increase their votes in certain constituencies.
Mr Arhin speaking to the media, bemoaned the level of violence characterizing the voter transfer exercise, stressing the negative impressions these pockets of violence would have on the main election day.
Albert Arhin also calls for the suspension of the exercise for consensus building.
