Mr Kofi Adams, National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said taking out the Voter ID card as a requirement for the Ghana Card registration placed an "economic blockade" on some Ghanaians, and therefore undermined its purpose.
He said the Voter ID remained the only free identification which already had millions of Ghanaians tagged, therefore the Party's demand for the card as a requirement was to ensure more Ghanaians had access to the new card.
"If you genuinely, truly want to register Ghanaians you go for an identification source that has over five million persons already holding it," Mr Adams said.
He was addressing the 2018 Volta Regional Delegates conference of the NDC in Ho on Saturday on the theme "Mobilising for Victory 2020", which attracted a good representation of Party Executives from the Region.
"One paper that was truly reliable, that was done through biometric verification is the Voter ID card. There is a lot of interest that all political party reps from the various communities are present at the registration centre and only allow people they know are Ghanaians to register", Mr Adams stated.
He added that the NDC had no motive of derailing the national identification process, and would continue to play its role in keeping Government in check.
"So please when you hear them say it is the NDC that is ambushing the Ghana Card, no. What we are saying is that make it easier for Ghanaians to be able to register", Mr Adams stated.
Mr Koku Anyidoho, Deputy General Secretary of the Party asked members to respect the definition of delegates, and work hard to rebuild the party in unity.

UNCLE KOFI KOTOKOLI "DI WO FIE ASEM" THIS ADVICE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO EYADEMA PREZ OF TOGO WHICH IS YOUR COUNTRY.YOU AS A FOREIGNER WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN ADVANTAGE BECAUSE OF GHANAIAN HOSPITALITY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO OVER STEP YOUR BOUNDRIES. RIGHT? A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH.USE YOUR ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE FROM GHANA TO HELP YOUR COUNTRY (TOGO)
Real Ghanaians dont want it as easy as you want it.The Ghanaians got no issues at all in Registering so what is your worry Kofi Adams.The last time I checked you were singing that no NDC member should register.This Card determines your Citzenship automatically and you want every tom ***barred word*** and harry to file up as Ghanaian.Anything with National tone NDC got issues with it.Talk of corruption and they sing to the bank..do ray me fa so la ti doo
What did the people use to register for the voter ID card? Make it easier for Ghanaians? Wouldn't that also make it easier for non-Ghanaians to get a Ghana card? What is difficult about bringing 2 people to guarantee that you are a Ghanaian? What is economic about it? The person knows not two registered Ghanaians? Is that person really a Ghanaian?
Are they still waiting for this flawed voter ID card? If the NDC wants , they can boycott it because voter ID will NEVER be accepted. The era of NDC vote rigging is over! DECENCY WILL PREVAIL HENCEFORTH!
