The numbers on voter registration provided by the Electoral Commission (EC) have drawn criticism from Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr. Boamah claims the NDC recorded a lesser number of 19,267 voters, despite the EC reporting 25, 287 persons registered on Day 2.
In addition, he contests the EC’s total registration statistic for Day 3 of 43,417, asserting that there are actually 48,616 registered voters.
There are 143,014 registered voters nationwide as of May 10, according to the EC.
The registration figures are broken down regionally as follows: 17,837 voters have registered in the Greater Accra region; 3,948 in the North East; 6,691 in the Upper East; 10,373 in the Northern region; 4,900 in Bono; 5,118 in Bono East; 7,512 in Volta; 5,256 in the Upper West; 14,884 in Eastern; 15,434 in Central; 3,889 in Ahafo; and 25,558 in Ashanti.
5,638 from the Western North, 4,206 from Oti, 2,989 from Savannah, and 8,781 from the Western area are among the additional registrations.
The EC is working hard to reach its registration targets before to the exercise’s end.
