NDC accuses EC of stifling the vote and demands that registration procedures be reviewed.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has come under fire from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for allegedly engaging in voter suppression by only allowing restricted voter registration at district offices.

Today, September 18, marks day six of the voter registration, and many people are complaining about numerous difficulties. Theophilus Tetteh Chaie, the NDC’s Greater Accra Regional Secretary, claims that the EC is making things worse.

Meanwhile, there is growing pressure on the Electoral Commission to reassess its procedures for the present voter registration drive.

• NDC left behind a strong economy, in response to Ofori-Atta, says Ato Forson.

Member of Parliament for Anyaa–Sowutuom, Dr. Adomako Kissi, said limiting the registration in only district offices is not the best.

The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party, Salam Mustapha, says he is satisfied with the first week of the limited voter registration.

The Electoral Commission on Tuesday, September 12, began the registration aimed at capturing first-time voters yet to secure their Voter ID cards.

The registrations are ongoing in the district offices of the electoral commission across the country despite opposition from the NDC and some civil society organizations.
