The National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku has expressed delight over the active participation of Ghanaians in the new voters’ registration exercise.
Sammi Awuku, after visiting registration centres at Adenta and Ayawaso West Wuogon constituencies, is convinced Ghanaians are not joking with their right to vote, hence their eagerness and readiness to obtain a voter ID card.
“I visited not less than eight centres today from Maajor in the Adenta area down to Ayawaso West Wuogon and to Maamobi in the Ayawaso North and down to the Alajo area in the Ayawaso Central Mosque area. Throughout some of the major registration centres, the numbers are very overwhelming.
“Clearly it shows that the Ghanaian people are ready to register for a new voters’ ID. What we can do to support them as a political party is to support them with constant education that we also need to keep alive,” he said in an interview with Joy FM.
He was however worried about some negative reports regarding the exercise saying “if we focus too much on the negativity, what we going to do then is to scare people from these centres or not do much to help with the education. The EC is doing its best; I have grave reservations about some of the things I also saw”.
He further commended the various political party agents for their vigilance at the registration centres.
“Let me commend the agents of these political parties who have kept an eagle eye on the process. Let me also commend the mobilizers and the whispers of the various political parties who moved from house to house to also get supporters and get sympathizers and Ghanaians who haven’t heard of this whole exercise to also throng the place.”
