As many as 13 political parties have consented to the compilation of a new voters register for the 2020 general elections.

BestNewsGH.com reports that political parties as saying the Electoral Commission has made a very solid case for a new register, taking cognizance of cost, time and credibility.

The 13 political parties are the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), People’s National Convention (PNC), Convention People’s Party (CPP) the United Progressive Party (UPP), Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), United Love Party (ULP), New Vision Party (NVP), Yes People’s Party (YPP), Democratic People’s Party (DPP), Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) and the Reformed Patriotic Democrats Party (RDP).

The Electoral commission has stated its desire to compile a new voters register for the 2020 general elections, but this decision has been met with stiff resistance for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and a host of other parties, particularly the People’s National Convention (PNC) and the All People’s Congress (APC).

This has led to the formation of the Coalition of Political Parties for YES, which is championing the compilation of the new register.

Kofi Akpaloo, Founder and Leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), addressing a press conference at the instance of the Coalition said  “The EC has made a solid case for a new register in terms of cost, time and credibility. We support the compilation of new register and we expect all political parties to support the EC in the quest to deliver a better-organsied election than before.”

He opined further that “We are saddened by the continued bashing of the EC by the NDC. We know it is deliberate… we wish to call on all well-meaning Ghanaians to call the so-called main opposition party to order.’’

“You will notice that consistently any time we all sit at IPAC and take a decision, the NDC will come out to contradict what we had all agreed on. Any time the NDC has to work with other political parties in the national interest, they turn around and stab the nation in the back.’’ he added.
