According to him, the EC has changed the initial plan for the mop up exercise of the voter registration on the whims and caprices of the NPP in an attempt to prevent NDC strongholds, especially the Volta Region from partaking in the 2020 general election. But the NPP has convinced the EC to have the mop at the district offices of the EC and not the registration centres.”He believes this is a strategy by the NPP with support from the EC to block roads leading to the EC offices and further disenfranchise people in the Volta Region. “This is a strategy for thugs of the NPP to block roads leading to the EC’s offices. “This is the exact thing they want to achieve by moving the mop up exercise to the EC’s offices,” he said.
