Former deputy Finance Minister, Mona Quartey and former ambassador to Italy, Her Excellency Molly Anim Addo can both not find their names in the voters’ register when they visited their polling stations to verify their names.
Reports are that the two stalwarts of the biggest opposition party had gone to their polling stations in the Korle Klottey constituency to verify their names only to be told by the exhibition officers that their names are not in the register.
They were instead made to fill inclusion forms and assured by EC officials that their names will be restored onto the nation’s voter roll.
This was revealed by former Member of Parliament for La Dadekotopon and former deputy Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Nii Amasa Namoale.
While urging members of the NDC to take the ongoing exhibition exercise serious, Hon Namoale wrote on his Facebook wall “HER EX Molly Anim Addo’s name cannot be found in the register so is Hon Mona QUARTEY. Pl am advising all NDC voters to go and check their names with immediate effect.”
The former legislator who is noted for his wit accused the Electoral Commission of deliberately deleting names of voters from the register, stating “this is deliberate ooo, don’t think it is an error go and include your name.”
The EC has been battling to explain why lots of names have been missing on the voters’ register since the exhibition exercise started on Friday, September 18.
The Commission was compelled on Saturday, September 19 to replace all the register it had sent to the exhibition centres across the country with new ones in a bid to address the anomalies.
But the opposition National Democratic Congress and some Ghanaians say even after the change of the register, the challenges still persist.
