Prior to the general elections in 2024, the Electoral Commission (EC) has started replacing ID cards for Guan constituents.
The Guan constituency contains Santrokofi, Agbafu, Lolobi, and Likpe (SALL), which were disqualified from the 2020 election as a result of the creation of the new Oti Region.
As a result, in 2024, SALL residents will have representation in Parliament.
At a press conference in Accra, Mr. Samuel Tettey, the EC’s deputy chair, announced the replacement of the voter card and explained that it was crucial because voters in the Guan District had previously registered in the Jasikan District in 2020.
“The commission wishes to inform the general public that it has started replacing the ID cards for voters in the Guan District from Tuesday, October 3 to Thursday, November 2” , said Mr. Tettey, adding: “This has become necessary because in 2020, voters in the Guan District registered in the Jasikan District” .
“With the creation of the Guan District, the voter ID cards bearing the Jasikan District have been changed to reflect the code of the Guan District,” he said.
