National Communication Officer for the largest opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], Sammy Gyamfi, has said Madam Jean Mensa cannot rescind her decision over the compilation of a new voters' register just because it was a contract she signed with President Akufo-Addo before her appointment as Electoral Commission Chairperson.
“Indeed, the compilation of a new voters' register for the up-coming general elections was a promise Jean Mensa made to the President before her position was granted her; therefore she needs to fulfill her promise . . . or she faces the consequences it comes with,” he alleged.
According to Sammy Gyamfi it is never true that members of the NDC dislike Jean Mensa as the Electoral Commission Chairperson.
In an interview with UTV’s 'Adekye Nsroma' political discussion segment, he vividly stated that “Ghana’s current voters' register is one of the cleanest and most credible the country has ever had in its history and at large in the world”.
Making reference to the planned demonstration by the opposition parties who are against the compilation of a new voters' register, Sammy Gyamfi indicated the turnout with respect to the demonstration held in Tamale makes him understand that their struggles for the best will not be in vain.
He added that “this should as well be a wake-up call to Jean Mensa to decide on doing that which is right for the peace of the nation and respect proper stakeholder meetings, which will make her office credible”.
The National Democratic Congress and five other political parties on Saturday organised a demonstration in Tamale to express their displeasure over EC's decision to compile a new voters’ register for the December 7 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.

gyae nkwasea keka no, na wo kura dibre wo party kese3 mu.
And what did Charlotte Osei promise the incompetent one?
MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON GHANA AND DELIVER US FROM THE HANDS OF THE NDC. THE PROPAGANDA, THE LIES FROM LAWYERS OF SOME SORT AND TWISTING OF FACTS. THIS EGYPTIANS (NDC) WE SEE NOW, WE SHALL SEE THEM NO MORE UNTIL AFTER 2032. DID NPP NOT GET MORE THAN 53% OF THE VOTES IN THE 2016 ELECTIONS? ARE THEY NOT IN THE MAJORITY? WHY THEN IS 44% MAKING SO MUCH NOISE AS IF THEY ARE IN THE MAJORITY? THIS IS CALLED BULLEYING AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW IT. AMEN
Sammy Gyamfi should once behave as learned lawyer who can win cases for his clients if he is even fortunate to have one. I'm thinking he did not work for it else how can an entity like him put up such a defence like none entity. To me as none professional lawyer, it is common sense as JDM referred that must be used in this civilised society.
MAA JEAN, PLEASE GO AHEAD A COMPILE A NEW REGISTER IF NDC DOESN'T WANT THEY CAN STAY AWAY FROM 2020 ELECTIONS. AFTERALL NPP BOYCOOTED 1993 PARLIAMENT AND GHANA NEVER LOST A DIME.BUT NDC MUST BE CAREFUL BECAUSE GHANA DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM ALONE
Sammy Gyamfi is not helping NDC to capture power in 2020. we the floating voters have observed that NDC is resorting to lies and deceit for electoral victory. Sammy Gyamfi should understand clearly that we Ghanaian's are not ***barred word*** to reason with realities . If lies and deceit were his law examination and substituent graduation then he is an apology to his credibility and integrity as person and that will attracts any convincing potential votes for the NDC
A party that simply refuses to use it's head. Otherwise what for goodness sake is NEGATIVE about compiling an improved voter register, if not their own shadows chasing them and giving them sleepless nights of a so called rigging? I just checked my last voter ID and the date it was done was 29th March 2012 - when elections were held in December! What is this story then about an election year pipe drewm? Why is it so difficult for the NDC to use its head? Their best is to intellectualize ido.icy as someone has said. What a party!!!
THE LIES AND DISTORTIONS PEDDLED BY THE NDC ABOUT THE PROPOSED NEW VOTER REGISTER IS THE ALL ABOUT FEAR OF LOOSING THE 2020 POOLS BECAUSE, ALL THAT THEY FEAR IS THAT THE OLD VOTER REGISTER WHICH THEY SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE FROM ACCROSS THE BORDERS OF TOGO, COTE I'VIOR AND BURKINA FASO AND THE UNDER AGED PERSONS WHICH THEY HAD ALSO SPENT MONEY TO GET THEM ON THE VOTER ROLL WILL COME TO NOTHING. THIS TIME AROUND MANY GHANAIANS WHO WILL GO IN TO REGISTER EITHER HAVE THE GHANA CARD WITH THEIR TRUE AGE ON IT SO THERE WILL BE NO AGE CHEATING WITH MINORS REGISTERING. FOR NOW THERE ARE ONLY 3 REGIONS LEFT TO DO THE GHANA CARD.
So why is the ruling NPP government who won the 2016 elections supporting the creation of a new register but on the other hand NDC on whose tenor the register was compiled and subsequently lost the election saying the register should not be changed? Ghana please watch NDC very well they have something under their sleeves.
