Flagbearer for the All People’s Convention (APC), Hassan Ayariga has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of contributing to the many issues surrounding the voter register.
Conversations around the credibility, of the voter register have intensified over the past few months, especially in the build-up to the 2024 general elections.
Speaking to Umaru Sanda Amadu on Face to Face on Channel One TV, Hassan Ayariga explained that on several occasions, he had witnessed NPP and NDC party officials, aiding underage and other unqualified persons to register for the upcoming elections.
He argues that this situation can severely impact Ghana’s future.
“When they started the compilation of the voter register, I witnessed these two major political parties bring in foreigners from Togo, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire and other neighbouring countries to come and register as Ghanaians and become Ghanaian voters.
“I have witnessed NDC, and NPP go to the schools, bringing young boys who are less than 18, and guaranteeing for them to become 18 and register. So they are the ones spoiling the register.”
