Kingwise, a member of the communication team for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has raised concerns about the recent internet disruptions in Ghana and their potential impact on the December 7th elections. Kingwise is worried about the widespread effects of these disruptions, which are causing significant challenges for businesses and making it difficult to disseminate accurate election information.
Kingwise has stated that disruptions caused by poor internet connectivity not only hinder businesses but also pose a risk to the integrity of the electoral process. With media outlets struggling to access real-time election updates and citizens unable to share live reports of any wrongdoing, there is a heightened risk of misinformation during and after the election. The lack of reliable internet connectivity could also delay obtaining credible election results, leaving room for speculation and confusion among the electorate.
As Ghana gears up for the crucial December 7th elections, Kingwise emphasized the urgent need for measures to ensure uninterrupted internet access. The NDC’s concerns echo broader fears within the political landscape, highlighting the pivotal role of internet connectivity in upholding transparency and accountability during the electoral process. With the stakes high and the nation’s democratic future at risk, addressing the internet disruptions becomes imperative to safeguard the credibility of Ghana’s democratic institutions.
