The Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr.Edward Omane Boamah has described the Limited Voter Registration exercise of the Electoral Commission (EC) as a way to punish Ghanaians for the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
government.
In a post on Facebook, he admonished Ghanaians to endure the punishment but ensure the NPP government is voted out of power in the 2024.
“Institutional Decay! The Electoral Commission has decided to punish first-time voters on behalf of the NPP government insisting they travel all the way to district offices to register.
“The courts too are in no mood to prioritise the plight of the youth. Don’t worry. Just endeavour to register and punish the NPP in 2024,” Dr. Omane Boamah said.
The EC as arranged is starting a voter registration exercise today, Tuesday, September 12, in accordance with the law.
The exercise is coming on although the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and four other political parties went to court last week for an injunction on the exercise.
But in a release from the EC on Monday, September 11, it said the exercise is starting today as earlier advertised.
“The Electoral Commission wishes to inform the General Public that the 2023 Voters Registration Exercise begins on Tuesday, 12th September 2023 and ends on Monday, 2nd October 2023.
“Persons who have attained the age of 18 years since the last registration exercise and those who for one reason or the other did not register in 2020, should visit the District Office where they reside with either their Ghana Card or their Ghana Passport. Eligible applicants who do not possess any of the identification documents listed above are required to present two (2) persons who are already registered voters to guarantee their registration,” parts of the statement from the EC said.
