The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has demonstrated the seriousness he attaches to the upcoming November general elections by monitoring the ongoing limited registration exercise in the Ejisu Juaben and Oforikrom constituencies of the Ashanti region.

He first visited the Alafia Polling Station, in Anloga, in the Oforikrom constituency where he interacted with registration officials of the Electoral Commission, NPP polling agents and eligible voters, who were in the queue waiting for their turn to be registered.

Nana Akufo Addo urged agents of the NPP at the polling station not to lose their guard but ensure that only eligible prospective voters are registered, emphasizing that a credible voters’ register is the key to promotion confidence in the electoral process.

The four-time Presidential candidate also took the opportunity to engage residents of Anloga, and encouraged first time voters to register, noting that this will afford them the opportunity to decide who to vote for in this year’s election and also go a long way to determining the kind of future they want.

Nana Akufo-Addo’s second point of call was the Ejisu constituency, where he visited the Bafoso Education Office (A) polling station, located within the premises of the Ejisu-Juaben Municipal Assembly.

Nana Agyeman Badu, the Registration Officer in-charge at the centre, told the NPP flagbearer that only three first time voters had registered at the centre as at 10am this morning. The registration officials and NPP polling agents indicated that the process had been smooth, with no hitches recorded.

To the NPP agents, Nana Akufo-Addo urged them to remain vigilant and insist on potential voters possessing the requisite identification, in accordance with the law, and also disclosing their residential addresses before being allowed to register.

Whilst observing the processes being undertaken by the registration officials, market women and NPP sympathisers, who learnt of Akufo-Addo’s presence, thronged the premises of the Municipal Assembly, filling it within a matter of seconds to encourage him ahead of this year’s polls, with chants of “Nana oo Nana”, “2016 is your time.”

Nana Akufo-Addo will in the coming days also visit polling stations in the Western and Central Regions to monitor the registration exercise.
