New Voters' Register: Enough of The Arrogance - Namoale To EC
Former NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for La Dadekotopon constituenyc, Nii Amasah Namoale has asked the Electoral Commission (EC) to stop being 'arrogant' as far as a decision to compile a new voters' register is concerned.
"Enough of the arrogance," he said on the 'Platform' programme on Peace FM.
The Electoral Commission (EC) says it will begin compiling a new voters' register for the December 2020 elections in April.
The commission added it hopes to end the exercise by the end of May.
The Director of Electoral Services, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe made this known in a radio interview on Monday [January 20, 2020].
While some 13 political parties led by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have thrown their weight behind the EC for the new BVMS and compilation of the new register, the Inter-Party Resistance Against the New Voters Register made up of six political parties led by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has kicked against it.
Meanwhile, the EC says the procurement of the new BVMS and compiling of a new register will save the country GH₵173.07 million, compared to upgrading the current system.
