Old Voters’ Register More Credible Than Newly Compiled One — Hassan Ayariga

The flagbearer and founder of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga has questioned the credibility of the new voters.

According to Ayariga, the old voters register is even more credible to the new one citing that the eligibility proof which underpinned the just-ended registration undermined the very principle for the push to have a new register.

“I believe that the old register is more credible than the one that we are compiling. With the new register, the EC sent a new C.I. to Parliament to allow the EC to use the Ghana card, passport and then the vouching procedure to compile the register. As a Ghanaian living abroad, I know many people with Ghana passport but they are not Ghanaians. So where is the credibility?”

“I know people with the Ghana card who are also not Ghanaians. Also, to vouch for someone, you don’t need any legal document to do that. So anybody like a minor can walk in with two people and say he is 18 years because you cannot challenge it. I have seen it in many constituencies where foreigners and people who are less than 18 were being vouched for,” he added.
