The Inter Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) of the Electoral Commission will later today [Wednesday], meet in what is anticipated to be a crucial engagement.
Although the official agenda for the meeting is undisclosed, Citi News sources say it will evaluate the widely condemned Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
According to our sources, a revaluation of the role of the Election Security Task-Force, and proposals for possible reforms will be discussed at the meeting.
This meeting comes only days after the Electoral Commission fiercely defended the integrity of the widely condemned poll, insisting that the recorded brutalities could not have influenced the outcome in any manner, although turnout was very low.
It is still unclear whether the largest opposition NDC, will attend this meeting given their disagreements with the Commission before and after the January 31st by-election.
Videos from a polling center within the constituency during the election showed the physical assault on some citizens including the NDC Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George.
The attack was carried out by some masked men who were heavily armed at some polling stations.
The identities of the masked men and whose instructions they were working under was not known until the Minister of State in Charge of National Security, Bryan Acheampong disclosed in a Citi News interview that they were security personnel sanctioned by the state.
Several CSOs and individuals have condemned attacks with the police
Meanwhile, the police have begun investigations into the violence.
