The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has admonished the Electoral Commission (EC) to rescind its decision to use the Ghana Card as the sole document for voter registration.
National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah said the EC must accept the suggestions from civil society organizations, Ghanaians, and former Chair, Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan to keep the guarantor system in the electoral identification system.
“Why would the EC insist on making the Ghana Card the sole document for registration of voters when the National Identity Register law allows for the guarantor system as an identification mechanism?”
“In the interest of our democracy and development, the Jean Mensa-led EC should for once agree with the opposition NDC, Civil Society Organizations, and other well-meaning Ghanaians including the venerable Dr Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, Ghana’s longest-serving former Chairman of the Electoral Commission and foremost authority on electoral issues, who insists that the guarantor system must be maintained in our electoral system.”
He made the remarks when he addressed a gathering at the party’s ‘true state of the nation address’, yesterday, Monday, March 20, 2023.
