Politics of Saturday, 1 February 2020Source: peacefmonline.comNew Register: ‘Blockheaded’ NDC refusing to understand EC's explanations - John BoaduGeneral Secretary of the NPP, John BoaduThe refusal of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to understand the need for the compilation of new voters’ register has been described by the General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu as an act of ‘blockheadedness’. According to him, the explanation which was given by the Electoral Commission (EC) was clear enough for the Eminent Advisory Committee to give good advice to start the exercise. The compilation of a new voters’ register has been challenged by the largest opposition party, NDC and a coalition named the Inter-Party Resistance Against New Voter Register [IPRAN], led by the People's National Convention [PNC] National Chairman, Bernard Mornah. He maintained that the only piece of advice that the Eminent Advisory Committee will give to the EC is to go ahead with their planned timetable for this year's elections. “The only advice that the Eminent Advisory Committee will give to the EC is that they should go ahead to compile new voters’ register; they have already given their time table for the exercise,” he indicated.
