Director of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe says the party’s Legal Directorate will consider exploring legal means to challenge the legality of the Electoral Commission’s decision to hold the upcoming limited voter registration at its district offices.
The Commission last week announced the commencement of limited voter registration for eligible Ghanaians who turned 18 years after the 2020 registration exercise and other eligible voters from September 12, 2023, to October 2, 2023.
Seven political parties in the country on August 21 were unhappy with the decision by the Electoral Commission (EC) to restrict the upcoming voter registration exercise to its district offices.
According to the political parties, such a move would disenfranchise a number of Ghanaians who have attained the voting age.
They want the commission to instead open up the process for the exercise to be conducted at the electoral areas.
Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) argues that if the EC is allowed to go by its plans, most of the new voters will be disenfranchised.
Speaking to Ahotor news, the Director of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe says his team will challenge the legality of the exercise.
