According to the Legislator, the controversial C.I also makes reference to the Ghana Card as the only National Identify Card for registration onto the Electoral Roll.

The Member of Parliament for Adaklu, further revealed among others that the Electoral Commission is seeking to scrap the guarantor system that has been employed in earlier electoral registration processes.

“Think of this: Registration Centres will only be EC district Offices. Use only Ghana card for registration.
No guarantor allowed,” he added.

He invited Ghanaians to think about all the outrageous changes the Electoral Commission intends to effect in the controversial Instrument which is before parliament.
