Seasoned journalist, Kwesi Pratt is unconvinced about the reasons given by EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, to support the compilation of a new voters' register.
The Electoral Commission has argued there are some defects in the current register which render it invalid for the 2020 general elections.
The Commission has therefore scheduled Tuesday, June 30, 2020 to begin a mass registration exercise aimed at compiling a new voters' register.
The exercise which demands participants to use only the Ghana card and passport to register their names, according to the EC, will help expunge all unqualified names from the register.
To expound on the significance of the new register, Madam Jean Mensa reportedly revealed that there are 1 million ghost names and names of unqualified people in the current register which needs to be cleared.
Addressing the issue on 'Kokrokoo' on Peace FM, Mr. Pratt questioned the logic of the EC Chairperson to compile a new register when she has just disclosed the number of people that should be deleted from the register.
According to him, if Madam Jean Mensa knows there are 1 million ineligible names in the current register, then why the need to conduct a new voters' registration exercise.
"So, she knows the 1 million people on the register; just take them off. If you know 1 million names in the register, how does that become reason for compiling a new voters' register because all you have to do is to take the names off and we have a clean register," he stressed.

masa kwesi just drink apio when you're thirsty, because they are all liquids mentality is making you sound like a buzzman. The EC has explained among other things that the old data format is incompatible with the new machines, just like trying to open iTunes on android or play store on iOS, they don't go together like that. In addition the data is completely in the hands of stl, EC only gets views from stl but not access to the real data, how come? Sleeping with your legs outside your room, messed up brains. Which country does that? For your information if you didn't know, the servers that store the actual database are in israel not here. Bam! Baboons are baboons! They never think.
The most useeeeeeleess suggestion l have ever heard in my life. You have set a trap for the EC to fail but it will bounce back to you.
common sense is what our leaders are lacking

Kwasi Pratt, listen to EC. The Commission says that the Roll is good for nothing. It is obsolete and can be easily be manipulated. Why are you still debating. The EC has made its decision and no institution including the Supreme Court can do anything about it. Only EC can but EC is managed by people of integrity and not lame ducks. EC will succeed and God bless the leadership
When the EC chair decide to delete it will be the same Mr. Kwesi Prat Jnr. who will question the the same commissioner for deleteing.
Now I know clearly that Mr Pratt has joined the few incompetent Ghanaians by his narrative and I’m not surprised because ndc is his pay master as I can testify by the V8 the government official 1 gave him. Sorry Mr Pratt 2020 election is not for ndc because many Ghanaians decree like the Jews said never again to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
