General News of Sunday, 12 January 2020Source: theghanareport.comNew Voter Roll: We’ll put sense in Jean Mensa’s head – Asiedu NketiahGeneral Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu NketiahGeneral Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has vowed to protect decades of democracy witnessed in Ghana. In order to do that, he said opposition political parties will do everything it takes to get the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, and her officials to drop the proposal to adopt a new voter roll. In his opinion, the EC is seeking to destroy Ghana’s democracy by compiling a new voter roll when the existing register is credible for the 2020 polls. According to Mr Nketiah, “we cannot struggle to build a democracy for 30 years only to allow one individual to just come and break everything apart. The current register was compiled in 2012 and was used for the last two general and parliamentary polls in Ghana.
