Member of Parliament for Ashaiman, Ernest Henry Norgbey, has raised red flags for some names missing from the provisional voter register.
Ernest Norgbey, who could not find his name on the register in the current screening exercise, claimed that 21,000 voters in his constituency also had their names removed from the electoral roll.
Mr. Norgbey further accused the Election Commission of deliberately removing those names from the register to deprive some voters of the right to vote.
“We have identified more than 21,000 names that have been delisted and it is unfortunate that this has happened. We had a very peaceful record in Ashaiman. There was no chaos. There was nothing inconvenient and at the end of the exercise, everything went well. ”
“So it shouldn’t be that during the exhibition, our names are not on the register, including me, the deputy from the constituency. It is unfortunate that this is happening. Be that as it may, it also appears that it is a deliberate attempt by the EC to remove certain categories of people from the register because if you look at the number of people from the Volta region and the northern region that have been removed it could be a deliberate attempt “he said in an interview on Eyewitness news.
Therefore, he asked the EC to correct the anomaly as soon as possible to avoid any tension in the constituency. Haruna Iddrisu, disappointed by the lack of names in the registry
On the same subject, the minority leader and member of parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu You are concerned that some residents who registered to vote have not been included in the registry.
“There are huge discrepancies in the registration and what has been made available to registered voters,” he complained to the press.
According to the Minority Leader, it has “requested a national compilation of these discrepancies to guide what will be [the Minority’s] next possible action. ”
Iddrisu also expressed disappointment at the commission’s inability to make Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs) available for verification as part of the ongoing voter exposure exercise.
According to him, since the biological data was collected during the registration exercise, it is important that the EC test the effectiveness of the biometric verification machines, as they will be used for general elections instead of manual name verification.
“My big disappointment is that BVDs are conspicuously absent. However, we have provided an adequate budget allocation for the acquisition of BVD in amounts not less than 7,500. ”
