National Peace Council & EC Agree To Broader Consultation As Solution To NPP`s Proposal For New Voters Register


The National Peace Council says the controversy over the voters' register needs to be resolved to avert a potential danger after the 2016 general election.  

The Chairman of the council, Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante is proposing as a matter of urgency a stakeholders' meeting to look into the issue.  

He said, the meeting must not be limited to the political parties but must include Civil Society and religious groups.  

For her part, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission Charlotte Osei says the commission will be measured in taking a decision on the NPP`s Proposal for a new voters register.  

The commission has therefore tasked Political parties to submit proposals on the issue.

Mrs Osei said a concrete decision will only be taken after consulting relevant stakeholders.  

She said the commission will not be rushed to take a decision based on the submission by just one political party.
