The Member of Parliament for the Nabdam constituency, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, has indicated that, apart from the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP), all other political parties in the country are worried over the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to restrict the limited voter registration to its district offices.
He noted that the failure of the EC to listen to concerns raised by political parties as stakeholders, coupled with the court’s delay in determining the case before it, is worrisome.
“The EC is adamant about changing its position, and the court is not also of help to the NDC and the other political parties. Apart from the NPP, all other political parties are complaining about the exercise.”
This, he recounted, has left him with no option but to fund the transportation of registrants from their respective communities to the EC’s office in Nangodi, given the difficulty posed to the young people.
“It has been very difficult for people to get to the registration center at Nangodi, and that is because most of those who are supposed to register are very young people who do not have means of transport”, he stated.
“We have been doing our best to help registrants, and we have made available two pick-up vehicles and a Kia, with some other people volunteering with their motorbikes to help convey the people to the registration center,” he added.
