Nana Oteng Domfe II, Abakomahene for Suma-Kwatwoma Traditional Council in the Jaman North District in the Bono Region has disclosed that putting up a credible voters register is a must if indeed we want to strengthen our democratic credentials as a country.

Nana Oteng speaking on behalf of the Traditional Council  said a credible voters register will ensure free and fair elections in the upcoming elections noting that a new voters register is the way to go since the existing voters register is not credible enough going into 2020 elections.

He disclosed this in a meeting with the New Patriotic Party Bono Regional Executives at his palace at Seketia. The meeting forms part of the party executives 3 days visit to the various traditional rulers in the region to sensitize them on the impending new voter register.

Nana Oteng said, it will be in the collective interest as a country to assist the electoral commission to put up a new voters register which will do away with the challenges such over bloating which will get rid of  foreigners who have found their way into the register.

He called on all Ghanaians irrespective of one's political affiliation to show up massively and register in the impending national voters registration exercise slated for 30th June 2020.

The traditional authority in appreciation of how President Akufo-Addo has managed the economy presented a smock through Chairman Abronye to be presented to the president in Accra.

Chairman Abronye commended the Traditional Authority for the gesture made to the president and assured them of the government support at all times, adding that the new voters register will not disenfranchise any qualified individual but it's a constitutional mandate which needs to be uphold and therefore Ghanaians should not fall foul to the lies and propaganda of the opposition NDC over the new voters register.
