OKAIKWEI NORTH Constituency National Democratic Congress (NDC) has informed Electoral Commission (EC) of their stance ahead of may 30, 2024 limited voter registration.
The EC directed that any voter registrant should only be seen at the registration centers about to register; and not to think of sleeping at or near the registration center in the Municipality to register.
Meanwhile, information has it that the ruling NPP has a machiavellian plans ahead of the exercise, hence this “no-sleep” directive aims to facilitate this NPP hiding plans during the voter registration.
To this, the Okaikwei North NDC vehemently oppose the EC directive, and stated that they would not collaborate in enforcing this unusual directive.
Below is a letter addressed to the Okwaikwei North Municipal EC Directress, and copied other relevant institutions.
ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF GHANA OKAIKWEI NORTH MUNICIPAL, ACHIMOTA
MRS. EUNICE YEBOAH QUAYE, MUNICIPAL ELECTORAL OFFICER.
Dear Mrs Quaye,
NOTICE OF NON-COMPLIANCE WITH YOUR DIRECTIVES.
As reiterated during our meeting yesterday, I write to formally notify you and reaffirm my stance, which coincides with the position of my political party, the National Democratic Congress in Okaikoi North constituency, regarding the directive prohibiting Ghanaians from sleeping at or near the registration center in our Municipality.
It is imperative to clarify that we, as a political entity, vehemently oppose and will not collaborate in enforcing this unusual directive. Every potential registrant who visits the center but is unable to register has the prerogative to either return home and revisit the next day or seek nearby accommodation until the next registration day, as do guarantors.
I emphatically restate that Ghanaians possess the intellect to independently decide whether to stay overnight or return the following day for registration.
There are widespread speculations that this “no-sleep” directive aims to facilitate the transportation of individuals from Akropong and other areas of the Akwapim North constituency into Okaikoi North.
Rest assured, we will employ all legitimate means to counteract this. I urge your office to counsel any parties contemplating such illicit activities to desist.
The NDC party in Okaikoi North constituency assures you of our full cooperation with directives aimed at ensuring a transparent and equitable registration process. However, we unequivocally disassociate ourselves from anything beyond this.
Yours faithfully,
Gregory Quarshie,
Constituency Chairman.
