The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, (NDC), Mr Johnson Asiedu
Nketia, has called on members and supporters of the party to actively take part in the voters exhibition exercise, noting that the new register is riddled with errors.
He said NDC supporters in all constituencies must visit their polling stations to ensure that
their names are on the provisional voters register between now and when the Electoral
Commission’s voter exhibition exercise ends on 25th September 2020.
Mr Asiedu Nketia noted the provisional voters register is fraught with problems, adding
that it is important that those who registered take steps to ensure that their names are on
the register to enable them vote on election day.
“Whether it was intentional on the part of the EC or an attempt to rig the elections for the
NPP government, we can’t tell but I will implore every NDC supporter to go and check your
name at your polling station to make sure that your name is there and correctly spelt,”, he
said.
Mr Asiedu Nketia made the call when he addressed separate NDC rallies at Bassa,
Okyeamekrom, Kwame Danso and Atebubu on Thursday, as part of a three-day tour of the
Bono East Region by NDC’s presidential candidate John Dramani Mahama.
The NDC General Secretary expressed concern that certain people have been going round
collecting voter ID cards of NDC supporters on the pretext of giving them loans, noting that
the main objective is to prevent them from voting on election day.
Mr Asiedu Nketia therefore urged his party’s supporters to resist such people when they
collect their voter ID cards to enable them vote for John Mahama and NDC on 7th
December.
