James Kwabena Bomfeh, popularly called 'Kabila', has dissented to the decision to get rid of the indelible ink used during elections in Ghana.

The Electoral Commission has preinformed the public that the indelible ink will not be used in the 2024 general elections.

According to the electoral management body, it is replacing the ink with a biometric authentication system which will serve the same purpose as the ink by disallowing any person from engaging in double voting.

"Once you have been verified, it goes into the system, and you cannot come back a second time. You can try it if you wish at this election. Of course, it will be deemed as an electoral offence," the EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa expressed confidence in the new system.

But James Kwabena Bomfeh thinks otherwise.

The former CPP General Secretary resented the idea that the ink should be abandoned, highlighting the unique role it plays in the elections.

In his reply on Peace FM's panel discussion programme "Kokrokoo", he argued; "The indelible ink is a double marker. It is an indicator; we should continue using it."
