If we truly address the concrete needs of the people, fulfill our promises to them and transform communities; there would be absolutely no need to worry about which voters register to use in elections.
That we cannot find better use of the whopping GHS400 million we are attempting to waste on the compilation of a new voters register at a time the national economy and livelihoods are in untold distress speaks volumes about the quality of leadership on display.
The unconscionable conduct of throwing away such a colossal sum when we are borrowing far less from external sources and in addition seeking to put the lives of millions of Ghanaians at risk during a pandemic must obviously warrant electoral punishment on December 7, 2020, notwithstanding the charade of a supposedly independent Electoral Commission.
When leaders deliver to the people’s satisfaction, the people ensure they stay in office. It is not registers or nuclear weapons that keep politicians in office.
Every good politician’s prayer must always be that the Lord would help us be that political leader who invests in the people and not be the politician who invests in fruitless rigging or voter suppression schemes as throughout history, no machination - no matter how elaborate or force - no matter how brutal has been able to subdue the true will of the people.
I don’t fear an old or a new register, I fear the anger of the people.
The people always triumph!

Since when did compilation of voter register amount to rigging? Politicians think we are ***barred word*** to be taken for granted. When it suits you then you support it but if not then it is evil. Bomboclat
JOEWISE, Since you were the only person in this country in 2012, tell us what NDC did with the voters register..... because i rather remember NPP going to court to have NHIS cards taken out....not NDC.
YOU LIE, ALL YOU HAVE SAID MEANS YOU FEAR NEW REGISTER
WHAT DID NDC DO IN 2012 WITH EC? IT SEEMS THEY FEAR THE NPP WILL DO SAME WITH EC WHEN A NEW VOTER IS COMPILED. FEAR POLITICIANS MORE THAN THE DEVIL!!!
