The NPP is once again preparing the grounds for a
pitiful electoral battle by this opinionated demand for a total change of the
existing voters register.

The NPP must be told in the face clearly that all
their remonstration and scheming for a new voters register will not make Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo winner of the 2016 general elections. It will be an
exercise in futility and a waste of tax payer’s money.

The NPP must stop the clowning and say it loud.
Panting around the point would only send the entire country on a wild goose
chase as usual. Many Ghanaians have still not forgotten those agonizing and unproductive
Supreme Courts days.

Besides, all other political parties on the Inter-Party
Advisory Committee [IPAC] and other Civil Society Groups who have done some
work on Ghana’s electoral system disagree with the desperate grappling by the
NPP for a complete change of the current Voter Register. The NPP is the only
ODD one out.

Fact, the NPP is so
treacherous and abhorrent that it is falling short of saying that some
registered voters with Northern and Ewe names/backgrounds, who are true
Ghanaians, should be removed from the current voters register. That is the crux
of NPP’s desperate chase for a new voters register. All the ‘brofo’ and
‘jambology’ is about their parochial partisan ethnocentric fantasy and
treachery.

The introduction of the biometric voting system exposed the
NPP more than any other political party and as long as the biometric voting
system is used for elections in Ghana, the NPP will continue to wallow in
political opposition unless and until it totally overhauls its cruel
ethnocentrism, tainted and divisive political ideologies and work towards
attracting voters from other regions with new sets of all inclusive ideologies
and new presidential candidate.

Ghana’s electoral register may not be totally clean but
largely credible and that is what Ghana has and it has worked perfectly well
for our electoral processes. The NPP should look elsewhere for its electoral
humiliations and stop tormenting the EC and its new chairperson for a new
register.
