His comments came after the Electoral Commission (EC) submitted 56,739 names as people who registered with National Health Insurance Scheme cards to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court ordered the EC on Thursday, June 23, to submit the list within six days in order to bring an end to controversy surrounding the voter register.

Addison, who was the lead counsel in the 2012 election petition, argues that the EC has not been truthful, adding that the commission lacks credibility.

He told Joy News that "the only way that we can be verified and be satisfied is for an independent investigator to be appointed to check the register. After all during the [2012] election petition such an independent investigator was appointed to go to the vote of the Supreme Court, and if that can be done, why not the EC?”

“Whatever means they used to determine [56,000 NHIS card registrants] they should provide it for the independent investigator. If [the investigator] confirms that it is 56,000 we will all go to sleep. But we cannot accept what the EC brings out. They have never been truthful, unfortunately. They have no credibility, absolutely none,” Addison added.

The names submitted by the EC to the Supreme Court have been described as "fictitious" and "conjured" by the Abu Ramadan, one of plaintiffs in the case.

Ramadan and Evans Nimako are challenging the credibility of the electoral roll, arguing that it is not fit for purpose as Ghana heads into a crucial election on November 7
