The debate about a new voters' register started when the NPP alleged that the register compiled in 2012 was bloated, that some Togolese had been alllowed to register in the NDC's stronghold, the Volta Region. The NPP wanted a new register. The NDC said the claim was false and opposed it. Today the positions of the two parties have not changed. What has changed is the leadership of the Electoral Commission (EC). If Charlotte Osei and her team had been in office, would the EC have been pushing for a new voters' register? And is the EC really independent of political manipulation?
