The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has acknowledged that the party has been faced with a couple of challenges in their monitoring of the voter registration exercise but will in no way allow these challenges stop them from undertaking their monitoring.
According to the party, the exercise has had a strain on their already scarce resources.
Speaking to Samuel Eshun, host of the Happy Morning Show on Happy 98.9FM about some challenges the party was facing in their monitoring exercise, Evans Nimako, Director for Elections of the NPP said, “The registration period for the new voter register is a bit long. That’s around 40 days.”
He noted that the party has monitoring officers all over following the registration exercise keenly and sending in daily reports to the party office.
“So we have to give these monitoring agents some money as appreciation for their efforts. From what is happening we have to provide them with this motivation and all these are challenges but we still try. What is the alternative?” he noted.
He motioned that the financial challenge the party faced will not stop the party from contributing to the growth of Ghana. “It is not something we will lose faith in.”
The Electoral Commission (EC) has begun the sixth and final phase of its ongoing voters’ registration exercise.
The current exercise will end on August 6, 2020.
