The 2023 limited voter registration exercise is going on smoothly at the Kpone-Katamanso district office of the Electoral Commission of Ghana in the Greater Accra Region.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Kpone, Mrs. Doris Emefa Agbezhulor, Kpone-Katamanso District Electoral Director, stated that so far the process had been peaceful.
Mrs. Agbezhulor said that though there were some challenges on the first day, it had been very smooth and peaceful, hoping that the same would continue for the rest of the days.
According to her, two registration kits and six registration officers have been deployed for the process at the district office in Kpone.
Mrs. Agbezhulor said eligible registrants would have to comply with the rules and regulations required for one to be registered in order to make the process very smooth.
She said all people who met the requirements would be registered and issued with their voter identification cards, and she called on the major stakeholders to ensure success of the exercise.
Eighteen year-old Daniel Enam expressed joy after going through the process of acquiring his voter identification card.
He said, ‘After spending seven hours in the queue, I finally have my voter’s identification card to vote and transact other businesses with it.’
He called on his peers to exercise patience and go through the process.
Meanwhile, the Ghana News Agency observed that only two political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), have their agents stationed at the Kpone district office of the Electoral Commission to observe the limited voter registration.
One hundred and sixty-eight new voters have so far been registered after two days of limited voter registration in Kpone-Katamanso.
The EC commenced the 2023 limited voter registration on Tuesday, September 12th, and it is expected to end on Monday, October 2nd, at all district offices of the commission.
