The Electoral Commission insists it is being financially prudent with the decision to compile a new voters’ register.
Some opposition political parties organized under the umbrella; Inter-Party Resistance Against the New Voter Register, have vowed to resist all attempts to compile the new register.
They say the exercise will come at a great cost to the nation and does not guarantee credibility for the upcoming national elections.
However, the Head of Communications at the Electoral Commission, Sylvia Annor in a Citi Newsinterview justified the Commission’s decision.
The decision to compile a new register has been met with criticisms by some political parties and stakeholders.
The NDC from the inception of the Electoral Commission’s decision to introduce a new voter’s register has kicked against it fully.
The Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Peter Boamah Otokunor said it was unnecessary for the government to spend such amount on compiling a new register while there are bigger problems to be solved, hence, called for its rejection.
