Napo Leads Voters’ Exhibition Campaign

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh aka Napo

THE
MEMBER of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh aka Napo, has
urged Ghanaians, especially those who have attained the voting age of 18 years,
to patronise the voter exhibition exercise.

According to him, the ongoing
exercise would go a long way to help the Electoral Commission (EC) to prepare a
credible register devoid of names of ineligible persons to make the 2020
presidential and parliamentary polls successful.

In line with this, Dr. Prempeh, who
is also the Minister of Education, admonished the electorate to find time by
visiting the various exhibition centres to check their details in the electoral
register.

He gave the admonishment when he visited an exhibition centre at Ash Town in the Manhyia South Constituency in Kumasi to check his name in the electoral register on Wednesday.

He later confirmed that his name is
captured in the EC’s records.

According to him, failure to check
your details in the voter register could lead to disappointment on the day of election
in 2020. “If your name is not in the register, you will be prevented from
voting so you better check your details now in your own interest,” he added.

The Manhyia South MP said everyone that had attained voting age should play a
part in the selection of who should manage the affairs of the state, stressing
that “voting is your civic right as a Ghanaian.”

He also stressed the need for
Ghanaians to play leading roles to help nurture Ghana’s democracy.
