The Supreme Court has set \u00a0July 5, 2016 to determine whether the current voters\u2019 register is credible or not for this year\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

The court arrived at this decision following a request<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>by Lawyer for Kwame Baffoe the NPP’s Brong Ahafo youth organizer who is in court challenging the credibility of the voters\u2019 register.<\/p>\n

Kwame Baffoe is seeking ten reliefs, which include an order compelling the defendants to compile a new and credible national voters\u2019 register for use in this year\u2019s general election.<\/p>\n

The ten reliefs are detailed below\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

a. A declaration that the current national voters\u2019 register compiled by the defendant and intended to be used for the 2016 general elections in Ghana is bloated and hence unfit for use in the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n

b. A declaration that the current national voters\u2019 register compiled by the defendants and intended to be used for the 2016 general elections in Ghana contains names of foreigners, minors, deceased persons andother persons who are constitutionally ineligible to vote in the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n

c. A declaration that the current national voters\u2019 register compiled by the defendant and intended to be used for the 2016 general elections in Ghana contains names of persons who used National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Cards to register and hence the current voters\u2019 register is not credible or fit to be used for the 2016 generals elections.<\/p>\n

d. A declaraion that the findings by the five-member committee chaired by VCRAC Crabbe and constituted or formed by the defendant are true reflection of the weaknessess\/laws inherent in the current national voters\u2019 register compiled by the defendant and intended to be used forthe 2016 general elections in Ghana.<\/p>\n

e. A declaration that a revision by the defendant of the national voters\u2019 register to get rid of the names of foreigners, minors, deceased persons and other persons who are ineligible to voe does not constitute an arbitrary and discriminatory application of the electoral laws of Ghana.<\/p>\n

f. An order of interim injunction restraining the Election Committee recently inaugurated by the defendant from playing any role whatsoever in relation to the impending national elections until the final determination of this suit.<\/p>\n

g. An order of interim injunction restraining the defendant, her assigns, agent, privies, officials or any other person(s) or bodies acting through the defendant from registering voters or conducting the proposed limited registration of voters slated for 18\/03\/2016 until the final determination of this suit.<\/p>\n

h. A declaration that, the current national voters\u2019 register compiled by the defendant and intended to be used for the 2016 general elections in Ghana is not credible and hence null and void.<\/p>\n

i. An order compelling the defendant to compile a new and credible national voters\u2019 register for use in the 2016 general elections in Ghana.<\/p>\n

j. Further order or orders as this Honourable Supreme Court may deem fit to make.<\/p>\n
