Mahama to speak on voters’ register anomalies

The Presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress John Mahama will on Thursday, September 24, speak on the reported anomalies with the ongoing voter’s exhibition exercise.

A statement by the Mahama campaign said the anomalies and other issues related to the integrity of the voter’s register could undermine the peace of the country in December when Ghana goes to the polls.

This comes after Mr Mahama including his running mate Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang suspended their Bono Region and Central Region tour respectively.

Addressing a gathering of chiefs and Sunyani Magazine workers in Sunyani, Mr Mahama said there was “so much chaos and disorder” in the electoral process, adding, “it has the potential to create crisis in our country”.

He said it was unclear whether or not “we are going to have a credible register because we are not confident of the process that is going on”, adding, “there is too much anarchy and disorder. We are not sure that we can have a credible register with which to have a free, fair and transparent election”.

Mr Mahama, therefore, called on the international community to take an interest in the political developments in Ghana.
