Electoral Commission chair, Mrs Jean Mensah has explained how some names were omitted from the current voters register.

Addressing the press Monday, September 28, 2020, Mrs Jean Mensah said a process to export the information of registered voters onto secured storage is to blame for the missing names in the register.

“Registration of voters is done using Biometric Registration Devices at the Polling Stations. Thereafter, the data is then transmitted to the data centre where it undergoes the process of de-duplication by the Automatic Biometric Identification System (ABIS).

“In other words, the data is exported for secure storage and further analysis. The provisional register is then produced. In a few instances, the process of exportation of data from the USB sticks to the central server was faulty leading to shortfalls of data in some areas

“It is important to highlight that although the registration process is IT-driven, there is still a significant amount of human involvement that may result in errors in every step of the process from registration to exhibition. In short, due to unintentional human and administrative errors, the process of exportation of data from the BVD kits to the USB sticks and then to the Central Database was in a few instances faulty leading to shortfalls in some areas. In a nutshell, our technology performed optimally as expected, however, in some areas, the human element of ours fell short leading to some of the gaps in the data we experienced,” she explained

The Nkosohen of Atti-Morkwa Traditional Council in the Central Region, Togbe Gottah believes Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will emerge victorious in the December 7 polls.

Togbe Gottah says nothing can stop Prof. Opoku-Agyeman from becoming the first female Vice President of Ghana.

“Ghanaians have waited soo long to get female as a Vice President but thank God we have already gotten somebody and indeed she really deserves it,” he stated.

He urged his people to vote massively for the NDC party to return back to power and complete all stalled projects in the area which was initiated by the erstwhile Mahama administration.

Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman who visited the area as part of her campaign tour of the Region also called on the constituents to turn up in their numbers and vote for the NDC in the 2020 elections.

The General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has said that the party will not tolerate independent candidates in this year’s elections.

The party will revoke the membership of such candidates who decide to go against the party rules to go solo in the 2020 general elections according to him.

Speaking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ Show, Mr. Boadu added that the party will also disown them should they even make it to Parliament.

He further appealed to disgruntled candidates to resort to the party’s constitution and other methods akin to the party’s constitution than to go independent which does not help in the development of a party that is seeking re-election.
