The Convention People’s Party (CPP), is not in support of the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to print extra pink sheets which will not have serial numbers embossed on them.
According to the party's Communication Director, Kadir Abdul Rauf Issifu the ommission of the serial numbers on those pink sheets was in variance with the provisions of  CI 94, the constitutional instrument regulating the conduct of public elections.
The CPP's concerns comes barely a week after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) raised similar concerns saying the development "is not acceptable" as "it affects the integrity of the base document for the declaration of results".
In a statement, the NPP said "the Public Elections Regulations, 2016 (CI 94) in the Schedules part at pages 48 and 49 has a sample of the exact format that the law says Form Eight, or the Pink Sheet for both parliamentary and presidential results should take. Material to the issue today is that at the top left hand of Form Eight is space for the unique serial number for each form to be inserted" but "we went there today to inspect the work and were surprised to be told by Aero Vote that they have been told not to emboss serial numbers on the pink sheets".
The EC, however, swiftly replied describing the NPP's claims as false.
"We have been informed that no management staff of Aero Vote told officials of the NPP ‘that they have been told not to emboss serial numbers on the pink sheets'â€, the EC's Communication Director, Eric Kofi Dzakpasu said in a statement adding that, "for the first time in our electoral history, these forms will be printed in Ghana with enhanced security features that significantly boost the integrity of results collation in our elections".
But in an interview on Citi FM on Tuesday, the CPP Communication Director stated that it was impera time that the EC followed due process in the printing of the pink sheets to ensure confidence in the process
 “It was established that, about 3,000 pink sheets did not have serial numbers. You do not expect the Convention People’s Party to say that we do not see anything wrong with it. The Electoral Commission should ensure that due process is adhered to. The rules set out in CI 94 should be strictly adhered to. In doing that, we have to ensure all pink sheets have serial numbers", he maintained.
