The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has challenged the voter registration figures reported by the Electoral Commission (EC) after day four of the ongoing exercise.
The EC has reported that a total of 25,287 voters registered for Day 2.
On Sunday, the EC reported that a total of 143,014 voters have been registered since the exercise started last week.
The regional breakdown of the registration figures is as follows: The Greater Accra region has registered 17,837 voters: North East, 3,948; Upper East, 6,691; Northern, 10,373; Bono, 4,900; Bono East, 5,118; Volta, 7,512; Upper West, 5,256; Eastern, 14,884; Central, 15,434; Ahafo, 3,889; and Ashanti, 25,558.
Additional registrations include 5,638 from the Western North, 4,206 from Oti, 2,989 from Savannah, and 8,781 from the Western region.
The EC is striving to meet its registration target before the conclusion of the exercise.
But Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) Director of Elections and IT, has refuted the figure.
He claimed that the NDC recorded a lower figure of 19,267.
He has also questioned the EC’s total registration figure of 43,417 for Day 3.
He said the figure the NDC has is 48,616.
