The EC then clarified that the new register of electors would be in 2020 and that there would be another meeting to discuss it.

"The concerns of the NDC were justified, but I think they started from the right principle and drew a bad conclusion. You have drawn the public's attention to the error and that is correct, and the EC has responded. . . if you start from a premise and then state a reason for electoral fraud, that does not help. . . My call is that if you recognize an error, I'm not saying do not say it, but do not read it, "he said.

Storm in a cup of tea
