The Conventions People Party (CPP) says it is not happy with the decision of the Electoral Commission to reject demands to compile a new voters\u2019register for the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n
This comes on the back of the EC\u2019s announcement that the petition by the New Patriotic Party and some pressure groups for a new register was “unconvincing.”<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”mKRZjC4dbPN3Goot0zrUFgwePlKCj88f”]According to the Youth Organiser of the party, Ernesto Yeboah, \u201cit is not particularly a welcoming news, especially giving the rigorous engagement that we have had with the Electoral Commission, to the point of inviting us to a round table where we submitted the reasons why we believe that Ghana deserves a new voters\u2019 register.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also questioned how the current one would be audited by the Electoral Commission and said that the CPP would do all it can to ensure the process was credible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will study the letter and then come out with a formal response but we are not happy. If there is going to be auditing how is it going to be done,\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand that an IT company has been contracted, as to how they got this particular company nobody knows. We will have to find out all these things. We have our volunteers on standby to go through each and every name,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
