The Conventions People’s Party has called on the Electoral Commission to hold an IPAC meeting to address concerns being raised over whether or not the biometric voters’ register will be used in two upcoming bye-elections.

Communications Director for the CPP, Nii Armah Akomfra who made the suggestion in an interview with Joy News Television supported the sentiments expressed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and urged the EC to come out with a proper solution to the issue.

The NPP has threatened to withdraw from the two impending bye-elections in Wulensi and Kwabre-West, citing illegality by electoral commission.

The NPP said the Electoral Commission will be engaging in an illegality if it uses the old voters register to organize the bye-elections.

Nii Armah Akomfra stated that the CPP does not see why the EC will conduct the bye-elections with the old data which has outlawed by parliament.

Meanwhile, Nii Armah Akomfrah said the CPP is working hard towards winning the two seats, even though the party is convinced “it is waste of time, waste of resources and ill-planned.
