General News of Monday, 20 January 2020Source: dailyguidenetwork.comNew voters’ register unstoppable – AkpalooKofi Akpaloo, Founder & Leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG)The Founder & Leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo, has insisted that Ghana urgently requires a fresh voters’ register to guarantee credible national elections later this year. According to him, the existing voters’ register is full of inconsistencies and errors, for which reason there is the urgent need to get a new electoral roll so that the upcoming elections would be successful. The LPG leader stated that to the best of his knowledge, Parliament had even approved the money for a new electoral register already and that was an indication that a fresh register was imminent. Mr. Akpaloo stated that the country doesn’t belong to the NDC and its allies (political parties); therefore, they (NDC members) cannot dictate to the EC as to whether or not there should be a new voters’ register. The LPG leader said the cost involved in preparing an entirely new register with fresh biometric machines was even cheaper than cleaning the existing register as the NDC is pushing.
