Voter Registration: If the EC wants war we will give them war – Madina MP

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu has expressed concern about the ongoing limited voter registration exercise by the Electoral Commission (EC).

The EC on Tuesday, September 12, commenced a limited voter registration exercise in its District Offices to register Ghanaians who are 18 years and above.

“Persons who have attained the age of 18 years since the last registration exercise and those who for one reason or the other did not register in 2020, should visit the District Office where they reside with either their Ghana Card or their Ghana Passport.

“Eligible applicants who do not possess any of the identification documents listed above are required to present two (2) persons who are already registered voters to guarantee their registration,” the EC said in a statement before the start of the exercise.

After visiting the registration centre in Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu accused the EC of using the voter registration exercise to weaken the strongholds of the NDC.

According to him, the people of his Constituency will give the Electoral Commission war if that is what the EC wants.

“What the EC is doing we believe is part of a grand scheme by the NPP administration to suppress votes where they think it is the stronghold of the NDC and we will not allow that to happen.

“In Madina here, we have told them that if they want to do this exercise in peace because we are for peace but if they want war we shall give them war that is what we want them to know,” the MP said.

The ongoing Limited Voter Registration exercise will end on Monday, October 2.
