The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged its members to “fully participate” in the ongoing Ghana card registration following the arrest of some officials of the National Identification Authority (NIA), for allegedly registering people for the card at night.
The party, which earlier had issues with the registration process, called on its members to boycott the exercise. However, at a news conference in Accra, Deputy General Secretary of the party, Peter Otokunor called on its members to “fully participate” and monitor the ongoing exercise keenly.
According to him, the arrest of the NIA officials was evidence of a process “hit with massive fraud, irregularities and wanton abuse of the process”.
In light of these issues, Mr. Otokunor said the NDC has “enough reason to believe that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) intends to use the acquisition of the Ghana Card as one of its methods towards manipulating and rigging the 2020 elections”.
