NDC’s Deputy Chief Scribe, Koku Anyidoho, has questioned why the opposition NPP never pleaded to the Supreme Court the claim of foreigners in Ghanaians voters' register when they filed an electoral petition after the 2012 general elections.

According to him, the call by the NPP for a new voters' register is “needless” – alleging that the NPP has a problem with the former Electoral Commissioner boss, Dr. Afari Gyan.

“The NPP never pointed to this claim of foreigners in our electoral roll and the fact that the register from 2008 to 2012 increased to 25% during the election petition. It appeared they rather had a problem with the EC as an institution and Dr. Afari Gyan as a person,” he said in an interview with Kasapa FM.

Koku Anyidoho is suspicious that the opposition party's continuous call for a new voters' register to be prepared for the 2016 election – “Is to enable them [NPP] implement its diabolic plan of bloating that register”.

He strongly disapprove of the opening of a new register since the current voters' register is satisfactory to be used in the next general elections.

The main opposition party [NPP] at a Press conference yesterday addressed by its Vice Presidential Candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia stated that the voters register must be replaced with a new one insisting that about 76,286 Togolese voters are on it hence must be scrapped.

They further argued that the register from 2008 to 2012 increased to 25% saying it does not make sense.
