Catholic Church to deploy 2000 observers on Election Day
The National President of the Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (CJPC), Matthew Eghan, said the observers would be deployed across all the regions in the country to help ensure a free, fair, transparent and violent-free election on 7 December.
The National President of the Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (CJPC), Matthew Eghan, said the observers would be deployed in all ten regions in a bid to ensure a free, fair and transparent election on December 7.
The observers, he adds, would be selected from all the 20 dioceses of the Church in Ghana.
He made this known in Kumasi during a three-day civic education and election observation training workshop organised by the Justice and Peace Commission of the National Catholic Secretariat in collaboration with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) has also announced that it will deploy 7000 personnel to observe the 2016 election.
The move, CODEO said, is to enhance the credibility and transparency of the December vote.
