General News of Saturday, 25 January 2020Source: 3news.comOur decision on new voters’ compilation final, Jan. 30 meeting won’t change it – ECEC- Boss; Jean MensahThe Electoral Commission (EC) has stated its decision to compile a new voters’ register for Ghana’s presidential and parliamentary elections in December is final, despite strong resistance against the last minute move. The January 30 meeting, he explained, has been arranged for the EC to inform the stakeholders of its programmes concerning the new voters’ register, and solicit views on how best it can be implemented. The dissenting political parties, who formed the Inter-Party Resistance Against a New Voters’ Register (IPRNA) consequently suspended further protests based on what it said was “good faith” shown by the EC to listen to them. The scheduled engagement, he said, “is not …for them to tell us ‘do it or not to do it, no’. If there are suggestions that can come in to polish our approach to it,” the commission will consider it.
