The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it will scrap its biometric membership register to pave way for re-registration.
According to the Greater Regional Chairman of the party, Mr Ade Coker, the plan to ditch the biometric system is to bring sanity into the party’s register.
Speaking at the party’s unity walk in Accra on Thursday, Mr Coker attributed one of the causes of the party’s defeat in the 2016 election to the biometric register.
“We are now going to ensure that the biometric registration which contributed to our downfall is going to scrapped and a better system put in place so that the true NDC people will be identified,” he said.
Welcoming the news, the Greater Accra Regional Campaign Coordinator of the party, Mr Sylvester Mensah said the decision by the executives to review the biometric register would bring credibility to the register.
He said in an interview on Accra-based radio station, Citi FM that, the current welcomes decision register is ridden with errors and problems which need to be addressed before the party begins internal elections.
“Of course we have had difficulties with the integrity of our register. We have evidence of individuals whose membership of the NDC is doubtful on the register. We have had complaints from people to the effect that their names have been omitted from the register. So it is a fact that the register has challenges so there is a need for some work to be done on this register,” he said.

DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT FORMER PRESIDENT RAWLINGS SAID ABOUT NDC'S REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE CORRUPTION WITHIN THEIR RANKS ?
So NDC still DOES NOT know why they (Ghanaians) rejected them. The defeat is just about loooting, shaaaring with corruption all over the Country. It is NOT our people (members) did not come out to vote, Errors in our biometric system, The Executives did NOT share the money given them, Some REGION did not come out to vote for NDC etc.
The poor register had nothing to do with your defeat. It was your arrogance and massive corruption that made Ghanaians vote you out.
The Ghana Card has rendered the ndc rigging machinery ineffective. Their biometric card which were issued to foreigners wont help now. In numbers, the ndc has only 28 percent of ghanaians truly following them. its over for them.
NDC is a party for funny people. Ademola Coker should note that, if GHANAIANS alone vote in an election, NDC would never come to power.
Eeeiiii! Asem Ben mpo ni. Now ndc's defeat was due to their biometric machine what happened to that? That one too didn't vote or had technical problems on the election day or caused voter apathy? Eeeii this defeat will be attributed to everyone and even Jesus will be blamed. They are losing their minds and talking like toddlers. Such fo*ls want to come back and disturb our minds. Hahahahahaha! What jokers we have as the largest opposition party.What happened to the ndc walk is that giving them hope for 2020 is the Osagyefo's propaganda working good for the ndc hahahahaha! His children are even angry the ndc want to ride at the back of their father and praising the free SHS as their fathers idea which they are praying for its sustainability. Hahahahaha! When God turns away from you nothing will work in your favour everything the ndc touches is turning a curse and making them more unpopular. Hahahahaha!
