The opposition NDC accuses the Electoral Commission of entrusting to an indigenous computer society the power to manage the electoral data system of the country, on the blind side of the political parties.
The contract of an Israeli company, Superlock Technologies Limited (STL), was terminated by EC.
But even before an official announcement is made about the replacement, the party claims that an indigenous Ghanaian company has been hired as a new salesman.
According to the NDC, this development will compromise the integrity of the 2020 elections.
Secretary General Johnson Asiedu Nketia told Evans Mensah on PM Express on JOYNEWS that access to data was a key factor as a measure of transparency.
According to him, before obtaining the biometric registration, all stakeholders decided that such important data should not be left in the hands of one person.
"We have developed protocols at the Commission where the supplier [STL] or EC alone can not enter the data until certain protocols are respected. Before any entry or deletion in the data, there must be documentation that the provider can show everyone, "he explained.

He stated that there had been a discussion during which the STL had asked if the EC wanted to have general control over the keys, but "Afari Gyan and Charlotte Osei [former EC Chairpersons] all resisted taking it. "
"Can you imagine what would have happened when in 2012, the New Patriot opposition party (NPP) alleged that the EC had added 300,000 names to the register if the situation allowed them then to do so? add names? "
Nketia doubts that the local IT company has robust security systems to handle such important data.
"Why do banks that manage ATMs route and transfer part of their communications and data to South Africa, India and Russia? This tells you that it will be too risky to take. People's trust in the system must be established before you work as an EC, "he said.
The NDC Secretary General said that European Commission President Jean Mensa, who is hiring a local IT company whose owners have political affiliations with the right to vote on the blind side of stakeholders, is worrying.
Meanwhile, the EC refused to comment on the allegations except to say that they were focusing on the next limited registration exercise.
The Commission stated that it still uses the STL for this exercise.
