The Member of Parliament (MP) for Manso Nkwanta constituency in the Ashanti Region, Hon. George Obeng Kwabena Takyi, has thrown his weight behind the Electoral Commission over its proposal for a new Constitutional Instrument (C.I.) to replace the existing Instrument (C.I.) in preparation for the election in 2024.
Commending the Electoral Commission (EC), for clarifying that the Ghana card will not be used for the 2024 elections on Movement in the morning show on Movement TV/ Wontumi radio, he said that the use of the Ghana card for the registration of the voters ID was a good move, which will help avoid irregularities in the register and during the elections, stating it is a perfect form of authentication of a person’s identification.
The Electoral Commission has proposed the use of Ghana Cards as the only form of identification and medium to qualify a Ghanaian citizen, who is eligible to vote, to be registered or enrolled onto the voters’ register.
He asked the opponents of the EC to channel their energy on holding the National Identification Authority (NIA) accountable to printing and distributing the cards for all Ghanaians before the elections.
