Limited Registration Exercise: Do you think Ghana is only Greater Accra? — NDC Activist fires Jean Mensa

National Democratic Congress youth activist in the Western region, Mr. Thomas Dindiego has added his voice to calls for the limited voter registration exercise to be held at the electoral areas instead of limiting it to the district offices of the Electoral Commission.

Mr. Dindiego insisted that the party will continue kicking against the Electoral Commission's call to conduct limited voter registration at the Commission’s district offices.

He accuses the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa of scheming to rig the 2024 elections for the NPP.

Speaking to journalists in an interview on Sunday, September 10, the NDC Youth Activist narrated that this decision also has the potential to disenfranchise a significant number of Ghanaians who reside in hard-to-reach areas located in the districts.

To this end, he has challenged the chairperson to consider first-time registrants in every deprived community in the country to register.

According to him, Ghana is not only Greater Accra which is blessed with an accessible road network.

Thomas Dindiego expressed concerns that many eligible voters might lack the means to travel from their villages to the EC’s district offices for registration.

This, Mr Thomas Dindiego said, would discourage a lot of people due to lack of transportation and money to move from distant locations.

"See, there are communities in Wassa Amenfi East such as Wassa Mampong, Ajumako, Boykrom among others, you will need at least gh¢250 to travel to and from Wassa Akropong, the municipal capital just to register and the saddest part is that you would need to pay double if you failed to register for the first time due to overcrowding," he stressed.
