National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Salam Mustapha has served notice to the National Democratic Congress that the ruling party will resist any attempt to impend the upcoming limited voter registration.
According to him, it has intelligence that the opposition party is plotting to derail the registration process
Speaking on Okay Fm's Ade Akye Abia Programme, he called on the youth to be vigilant and partake in the voter registration scheduled to begin today (September 12).
The Electoral Commission has scheduled to hold the limited voter registration for all persons who have attained the age of 18 and has not previously registered for the voter ID card.
The commission begins the process on Tuesday September 12 at all its district offices in the country.
However, it has been met with mixed reactions as some have opposed to the restriction of the registration exercise which is limited to the district offices of the electoral commission.
The National Democratic Congress and some other opposition political parties have filed a suit at the Supreme Court to challenge the process.
But Salam Mustapha told Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie that it has "uncovered a plot by the NDC to disrupt the registration" exercise.
"..... the Police must arrest anybody who acts unlawfully to affect the voter registration," he added.

The NDC is guilty of cutting corners; we have known that since Rawlings' time when they could box their way out. Thanks to the EC for doing a good job in making the electoral system credible. I want to encourage the EC to continue to use technology and digitalisation to make it more efficient and credible. Ghanaians are very aware that the NDC will always try to bully their way out of winning elections so that they become unaccountable to the electorate, so that at the end of the day, kleptocracy and massive corruption are the means of maintaining political power.
Keep up the good work, Mrs Jean. Don't let the NDC distract you from their incompetence and lack of political message. The NDC still believes in the campus politics of paying attention to the use of the English language rather than presenting alternative and better policies to compete with the opposing party. Intimidating and frustrating the work of the EC, which is trying to improve and insulate the system against vote rigging, can never win the NDC the election without convincing policies that will improve the lives of the electorate.
