Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, Director of Elections, Electoral Commission
Elections Commission Director of Elections Dr. Serebour Quaicoe has stated that people with duplicate ID numbers can still vote on December 7, 2020.
This reaction comes days after former President and NDC standard-bearer John Dramani Mahama, while addressing the press on Thursday, said that the identification number of his running mate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku -Agyemang, it had been duplicated.
“They said that she had to come herself because her number was duplicated, someone else also has the same number,” she said.
Adding that “He had to drive from Komenda to Elmina where the CE district office is located. In Elmina, they took away the old card, destroyed it and replaced it with a new one ”.
The former president was concerned that, unlike his running mate, who was able to drive to the commission office, others who cannot afford that luxury will lose their right to vote in 2020.
But speaking on Accra-based Joy FM, in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Dr. Sereboe Quaicoe indicated that since 2012, voter identification numbers have not been checked during elections.
On the back of this, he said that voters with duplicate ID numbers have nothing to worry about because it’s just their names and fingerprints.
“The voter identification number will not be used on the day of the vote,” he emphasized, adding that duplication “is not new.”
