The Electoral Commission on Wednesday stated that not more than 25 people will be permitted at a registration centre at a given time when it begins the mass voter registration exercise for the December polls. There will be no crowding at the registration centre, I can assure you”. But Speaking on Morning Starr Thursday, Mr Otukunor stated that the EC’s decision to go ahead with the compilation is likely to disenfranchise over 10 million Ghanaians who are on the current voters’ register. Mr Otukunor added that the NDC will explore legally possible options to ensure that the EC rescinds its decision.
