Several students are still waiting in queues at some of the registration centres in Kumasi to register as new voters as the registration process nears its conclusion today.
The registration, which began on May 7 and was initially set to end on May 27, was extended by two days due to initial network challenges.
The Ashanti region leads all other regions with approximately 90,480 registered voters, accounting for 17.3% of the nationwide total, followed by the Greater Accra region with 74,420 individuals, representing 14.3% of the overall number.
Officials of the Electoral Commission who declined to speak on record say, they are optimistic all the long queues would be cleared by the end of the day.
Abdallah Seid, the Manhyia North Organizer of the National Democratic Congress, told Orange News that the registration process has been successful, except a few misunderstandings surrounding the ages of some of the registrants.
He also indicated that the process faced a few challenges earlier hence slowing the registration process.
He allegedly raised concerns about the registration of minors and people outside their constituencies by the New Patriotic Party.
In response, the NPP Deputy Youth Organizer for the Manhyia North constituency, Kennedy Mintah refuted the claims and criticized the NDC for alleging that the party is registering minors and individuals from outside the constituency. He emphasized that the NPP consistently follows proper procedures and is committed to upholding its reputation, therefore, it will not engage in any activities that could tarnish its image.
