<\/p>\nSome persons believed to be members of the governing New Patriotic Party in the Ellembelle Constituency of the Western Region, have besieged the party\u2019s headquarters in Accra, demanding that their National Executives furnish them with their original polling station register.<\/p>\n
The governing party is expected to go to the polls in January 2018, to elect polling station executives. As part of that, all party members are to have their names captured on the party\u2019s register by December 25, 2017.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to the livid NPP members, their constituency\u2019s party chairman, Samuel Akenya, has refused to make available the original registers to the 16 polling station officers.<\/p>\n
They claimed the Constituency Chairman has instead made available other forms for the registration process which he will collate all registered names himself.<\/p>\n
In the view of the constituents, this is a ploy to manipulate the election of party executives at the constituency level, through to the national level.<\/p>\n
