The NDC should ignore the EC's limited registration as it loses nothing if potential voters are deprived of their rights

The limited registration of the Electoral Commission (EC) began on June 17, 2019, but the path that led to it was not rosy, it is in fact a fog of coherent tug between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the EC. The main problem of this standoff between the two is the EC's decision to proceed only to a limited registration of voters in EC district offices and in a few selected electoral zones, contrary to the norm in force in all the country's registration centers. .

But clearly, I do not see why the NDC should ever worry about this EC decision which, according to its logic, is likely to deprive prospective registrants who might be 18 years old or who, for for any reason, have never participated any voter registration since 2012. From a very critical badytical point of view, the NDC would rather benefit if a majority of potential registrants mentioned above above that I have mentioned above are deprived of the right to vote through this strategy used by the EC for this 2019 limited. registration, and below are my reasons from a statistical point of view.

It should be noted that the majority of these potential registrants will be high school leavers from 2016 to 2019, as well as the current group of 2017 and 2018 SHS students who have been placed in the SHS under the Free Policy. SHS (FSHS) of President Nana Addo. Note that students who left SHS from 2016 to 2019 witnessed the negative impact of the economic mismanagement of former President John Dramani Mahama across the country, including their stay in SHS, as well as the cancellation of training allowances in colleges. It was restored under the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, which allowed many of them to enjoy, in addition to the many outstanding achievements of President Nana Addo they currently know, but including John Mahama got a zero. In addition, the current students of SHS are students entering respectively in 2017 and 2018 under the mandate of the president Nana Addo. They are also identical under the FSHS policy, with a thorough knowledge of John Mahama's obsession with canceling the FSHS policy in case he wins the award. General elections in 2020. According to statistics, students leaving SHS between 2016 and 2019 totaled nine hundred and ninety thousand (990,000) and that current students benefiting from the SHS policy benefit from the FSHS policy. (eight hundred ninety thousand (890,000) totaling one million eight hundred and eighty thousand (1,880,000) The explanation above shows that the majority of these potential candidates are likely to vote for President Nana Addo in the general elections of 2020. In other words, there should be a possible loss of the voting rights of these potential registrants as a result of the EC's use of this strategy for this registration. limited, it would run the risk of strongly opposing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and not the NDC.It should be noted that the distance between EC district offices and most potential to persuade the recording. In addition, the conduct of the exercise while most of these SHS students are not on vacation also does not encourage registration. The foregoing gives one reason why the CND should turn a blind eye to the use of the EC's limited registration strategy, because the party may lose nothing even if potential registrants are deprived the right to vote. In fact, it is better to earn more if it happens. More so, it is up to the NPP and not the NDC to worry. Therefore, the NPP should make sure to properly plan its strategy according to this EC strategy in order to be able to register all potential voters, since the nuclear power plant is likely to lose the most if any one d & # 39; 39, between them is deprived of his right to vote

The limited registration of the Electoral Commission (EC) was to take off from Friday, June 7, 2019 to Thursday, June 27, 2019 in all district offices and some selected electoral areas, but due to a demand for the election. an injunction filed by Ghanaian citizen Umar Ayuba, challenging the EC's decision to hold registration in its district offices and in certain constituencies, it was postponed. The limited registration exercise finally began on Monday, June 17, 2019 and is scheduled to end on Sunday, July 7, 2019, after the Supreme Court rejected Umar Ayuba's application. This limited registration is part of the Commission's preparations for the holding of the 2019 Assembly and Unit Commissions elections, as well as the District Election Referendum for Chiefs. District, District and Municipal Chiefs (MMDCEs) scheduled for December 2019. Note: The 2016 limited entries, which were a major event for the 2016 general election, ran from April 28 to May 8, 2016.
