The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that an upcoming leadership meeting will determine whether the party will push for an extension of the limited voter registration period.
This decision will hinge on a review of the registrations conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC) up to now.
Various political parties and civil society organizations have called for extending the limited voter registration exercise, scheduled to end on Monday, May 27, 2024.
However, the EC has stated that extending the registration period is not feasible.
Evans Nimako, the Director of Elections and Research for the NPP, expressed the party’s contentment with the registration process in an interview with Citi TV.
He emphasized that the party will thoroughly evaluate the current registration figures before making any further decisions.
“Our position is that as many as people are qualified under the law, they should be given the opportunity to register.”
“So if we are saying that they [EC] are expecting 632,000 and at the end of the day, 700,000 people come out, does it mean that the excess of 77,000, they are not going to register them?”
