Nduom Seconds NPP�s Call For A New Credible Voters� Register

Leader of the Progressive People's Party, Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, has called on the Electoral Commission to a compile a new credible voters� register for the 2016 election. Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom made this recommendation in an interview with Radio Ghana. He suggested that rather the EC; the National Identification Authority should be made the authorized body to give a database for the new register. His comments follow calls by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for a new voters register. The NPP has, on several occasions, called the credibility of the current voters� register into question, describing it as bloated and has constantly pushed for a review. The flagbearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo appealed to the new Chairperson of the Electoral Commissioner (EC) to give Ghana a fresh start by creating a new voters� register. The NPP is of the opinion that the current register is bloated and not credible for the next general elections.
