Efo Worlanyo Tsekpo who happens to be the Bono Regional Youth Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has thrown a challenge to the EC to Castrate him if they are able to compile a new register.
According to him, if the Jean Mensah-led Electoral Commission of Ghana is able to compile a completely new biometric voters’ register he would gladly accept to be castrated.
Efo worlanyo who was speaking on Sunyani-based Dinpa FM added that he has a strong believe that the new register would never happen no matter what they try to do.
“I’M THROWING A CHALLENGE TO YOU AND YOUR PRODUCER, MARK MY WORDS THE COMPLETELY NEW REGISTER WILL NEVER HAPPEN. IF IT DOES, HAVE ME ON RECORD, YOU SHOULD ALL LOOK FOR ME, CATCH ME AND CASTRATE ME.
The electoral commission of Ghana is said to be compiling a new register so as to be able to make the register credible and this has met tough opposition from more than six political parties including the NDC;Traditional authorities, clergy, Federation of Labour, civil society organisations and the a section of the general public.
In the CI 126, the only means of identification making one eligible for the registration is a Ghanaian passport and an NIA card, whiles the old voters’ ID according to the EC will not be accepted. This has been argued by many as a recipe for disenfranchising many Ghanaians who may not possess such documents.
