The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has noted that it will keenly monitor the ongoing limited voter registration exercise despite the party’s suit against the Electoral Commission pending at the Supreme Court of the land.
The NDC in a presser accused the Electoral Commission of making the voter registration process difficult at its strongholds.
He stated that the ongoing limited voter registration is targeted to register over 1.3 million persons who have turned 18 years old since the last registration exercise in 2020.
The 21-day exercise began on September 12 and is scheduled to end on October 2.
The limited voter registration exercise began at a snail’s pace across the country as the Electoral Commission started compiling the register for the 2024 general election.
Common challenges associated with exercise across the centres reported have to do with “network challenge”, ran through the excuses of officials as the modest queues filed through in trickles.
Regardless, the registration process for first-time voters across the country was a particularly smooth exercise at the EC’s district offices nationwide.
In the Tema Metropolis, scores of first-time voters thronged the EC’s office to participate in the exercise.
The usual chaos and sometimes violent exchanges that have often characterised such exercises in the metropolis were absent as agents and officials of the parties were seen engaged in hearty conversations.
Addressing the press, the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah said members of the party will monitor the exercise to ensure that the process is not manipulated by the EC.
