The Electoral Commission (EC) has called on political parties which are yet to submit their returns and audited accounts for 2017/218 to do so by the 13th of February.

Mrs Jean Mensa, EC Chairperson, said the Commission had noted that the number of audited accounts received to date fell short of the international standards.

Mrs Mensa made the appeal on Wednesday in a speech read on her behalf at a press conference in Accra.

The press conference was held to outline key decisions taken at the end of the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) Meeting.

Present at the meeting were representatives of registered political parties, development partners and a number of civil society organisations (CSOs).

Also, present were senior officers of the Commission.

The deliberations at the meeting centred on the 2018 referendum on the creation of six new regions, the Ayawaso West Wuogon Parliamentary by-election, and the 2019 District Level Elections (DLE) and the referendum on the election of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).
