NDC Member of Parliament for Adaklu Constituency and Minority Chief Whip, Kwame Governs Agbodza has asked Ghanaians to rise up in the ongoing Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise across the country.

“Are we all going to keep mute and watch Jean Mensah and Bossman Asare drive our beloved country into chaos and undermine our democracy and disturb the peace?” he asked on his X (formerly twitter) page on Wednesday morning, a day after the Electoral Commission commenced the registration exercise.

Adding that, “Are these two extremely partisan individuals wiser than the rest of us? They are determined to collapse our democracy. Let’s rise up.”

This call comes after the Electoral Commission has been bashed by various political figures, especially from the largest opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) for conducting the Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise in District offices instead of polling stations.

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has also accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of deliberately making the voter registration process difficult at its strongholds.

Registration Exercise

The ongoing limited voter registration is targeting to register at least 1.35 million people who have turned 18 years old since the last registration exercise in 2020.

The exercise which commenced on Tuesday, September 12 is expected to end on October 2, 2023.

NDC alleges EC deliberately took faulty machines to strongholds

At a media briefing on the exercise on Tuesday evening, NDC National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah alleged that the EC had deliberately taken faulty machines to some of its district offices in areas it deems as NDC strongholds to frustrate eligible voters.

“There is not more than two centres where these breakdowns are happening which are in the stronghold of the NPP. All the rest are in the stronghold of the NDC…It is like his excellency when he was complaining about politicking within the bar association which turns to campaign at the bar conference,” he said.
