Some Senior High School (SHS) students aged 18 and above have threatened to return to school if Electoral Commission (EC) officials fail to register them in the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.
The current EC registration exercise began on Tuesday, 7th May, and is set to conclude on 27th May.
Although the Ghana Education Service (GES) granted these students four days’ permission to register, many are facing challenges due to network issues.
Consequently, some students are considering boycotting the exercise if the problems persist, stating that they will have no choice but to return to school.
The students are appealing to the EC to promptly address the network challenges to enable them to register.
Meanwhile, Stephen Abuaku, the NPP Chairman of the Nkawkaw constituency, acknowledged the network issues but expressed that, overall, the registration process is proceeding smoothly.
He also appealed to the GES to consider extending the four-day registration period for the students.
