The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to swiftly resolve the challenges faced during the initial day of the limited voter registration exercise.
The party expressed worry that if these issues are not addressed promptly, they could result in voter disenfranchisement.
Various challenges, including machine malfunctions and network issues, were reported nationwide on the first day of the 21-day voter registration period.
Evans Nimako, the NPP’s Director of Elections and Research, emphasized the importance of the EC taking necessary steps to ensure that all eligible individuals are registered by the end of the exercise.
“Today is day one and it is expected that all those who are of age, the EC must come clear to us and let us know what is really happening. I mean, as I said, we can’t work out this situation where people have moved from their homes to registration centres only to be treated in this manner.
“It is the reason I am saying that the EC must walk the talk and let us know what the challenges are.”
