A former District Chief Executive for Sekyere Afram-Plains in the Ashanti Region, Donkor Fuseini, has petitioned the Electoral Commission to extend the limited voter registration exercise to the electoral areas in the Sekyere Afram-Plains constituency in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
On Monday the Commission\u2019s Chairperson, Jean Mensa said her outfit would proceed with the registration exercise at its District Offices despite public opposition to the plan.<\/p>\n
Though the Commission has said it will try to facilitate the process in disadvantaged areas, the opposition NDC has maintained that many potential voters could be disenfranchised.<\/p>\n
Mr. Fusieni told\u00a0 Citi News,<\/strong> the Afram-Plains must be reconsidered because of its peculiar geographical situation.<\/p>\n\u201cThey [EC] are just punishing the people or trying to make sure they do not get registered at all. Where lies the right to get registered on the voters\u2019 register.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are appealing to the Electoral Commission that as for us in Sekyere Affram-Plains, our situation is so critical. Unless of course, we consider that people of Sekyere Afram plains are not Ghanaians so they do not have the right to register.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Commission plans to\u00a0compile new voters<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0register for the next presidential and parliamentary elections in Ghana after an agreement with the various political parties.<\/p>\nBut the NDC has since kicked against the move, arguing that it will not be in the interest of voters.<\/p>\n
The party has thus vowed to resist the EC\u2019s attempts to conduct the exercise at the district offices of the Commission.<\/p>\n
The EC has however rejected claims that the intended exercise at the district level will disenfranchise Ghanaians.<\/p>\n
The Commission argued that the plan to organise the registration at the district level falls in line with measures to upgrade its Information Technology (IT) infrastructure.<\/p>\n
