give Ghana a fresh start<\/a><\/strong><\/span> by creating a new voters’ register.<\/p>\nA political pressure group,\u00a0Let My Vote Count Alliance has already announced plans to\u00a0embark on a series of actions aimed at forcing the electoral commission to come out with a new voters register for the 2016 election.<\/p>\n
Officials from the NPP have already met with the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC) and has planned to meet the leaders of the other parties as well over the matter.<\/p>\n
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), however has brushed aside the concerns from the NPP about the voter’s register.<\/p>\n
The General Secretary of the NDC Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, said at a press conference in January that the complaints from the NPP are unjustifiable, adding that the voters\u2019 register is the “most credible since independence ”<\/p>\n
Since independence this has been the most accurate register, no register can be claimed to be perfect because in statistics, there is always some margin of error, but as far as we are concerned this has been the most accurate register for any election in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least this biometric technology is the latest technology that deals with the accuracy of compilation of any human data anywhere,\u201d he insisted<\/p>\n
Last Saturday, the National First Vice Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress, Ofosu Ampofo described the NPP’s\u00a0call for an audit of the new voter register as “absurd.”<\/p>\n
