The National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Sammi Awuku has advised that peace and order should be maintained in this year’s elections irrespective of which voters’ register is used.

He however asked the opposition NDC to allow the EC to exercise its mandate stressing there shouldn’t be a situation where political parties will be given an ammunition to challenge the voters’ result. 

“Is it about NDC losing the general election and telling us that the register we used was faulty, the machine couldn’t work on the day of election or the NPP complains on the day of election that we couldn’t make it because the machines were faulty and the register was fraudulent?” he questioned.

 “…whether limited voters’ registration  or new registration, one fundamental point we need to notice is the register we used in 2016 has significantly changed because we have had limited registration exercise in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and if we add 2020 limited registration to it; we’re still going to move on to the same old issues in the coming year. So, why don’t we change it now?

“We don’t want to have a situation where you give a political party ammunition to challenge the result”, he stated.
