The Progressive People’s Party says the compilation of any new voters register without the utilization of the National Identification System infrastructure is needless.
The party thinks such a procedure will be a waste of scarce resources.
In a statement in Accra, the party strongly urges the Electoral Commission to use the current Biometric Register for the 2020 general elections.
It, however, adds that, if in future the EC sees it fit and necessary to compile a new voters’ register, it recommends that the register should be compiled from the National Identification System since that project has already started and it can be given the same presidential and parliamentary impetus to be completed within the same period that the EC would propose to use to compile a new voters’ register.
The PPP gave the assurance that it remains wide awake and rely on Ghanaians to save the Country from waste.
Meanwhile the Convention People’s Party, CPP has also been sharing its views on suggestions that the Ghana card will be the sole basis for voting in election 2020. James Kwabena Bonfeh is the General Secretary of the party.
