NDC flag bearer John Dramani Mahama with his running mate, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang
Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang suspended her campaign tour of the Central Region, starting on Tuesday, September 22, her spokeswoman said.
This is to allow him to join his standard-bearer, who also suspended his Bono Region campaign to address anomalies in the ongoing voter display exercise being conducted by the Election Commission, Mawuena Trebah said.
“The Running Mate will suspend its campaign tour in the Central Region. There are a number of problems with that. However, it is a national decision made in consultation with the standard-bearer who has also suspended his campaign activities for today. Details will be released tomorrow, ”Trebah said.
Mahama, in announcing his decision to suspend the campaign, cited growing complaints from NDC members that their names do not appear on the new voter registration.
The former president was in the Bono Region at the beginning of a four-day campaign tour, having finished his tour of the Bono East Region over the weekend.
But reports abound that the names of NDC members are missing from the electoral roll that is being displayed across the country.
The exhibition began on Friday, September 18 and is expected to end on Friday, September 25.
But just a day after the exercise, the NDC’s Ashaiman constituency member of parliament, Ernest Henry Norgbey, accused the Ghana Election Commission (EC) of excluding more than 21,000 names from the registry in his constituency.
He said that even his name was missing from the record.
The EC, however, denied this and emphasized that the legislator’s name was captured in the registry and said that the MP’s figure is being exaggerated.
Mr. Norgbey, who recently demanded information from the EC based on the Right to Information Act, asked the EC to provide him with the record to show that the names of his followers are missing from the record.
“At the close of registration, all the political parties were very aware, including the Election Commission in Ashaiman, that we have registered more than 167,000 people, so where are those 7,000 people?” He said on TV3’s Midday Live on Sunday 20 of September. .
“Where are we going to get them? In any case, how [EC] get all 14,000 people to re-register. “
