General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has called out all members and sympathisers of the ruling party to step out and register for the 2020 general elections.

According to the NPP Chief Scribe, it is time for those who believe that President Nana Akufo-Addo has achieved a remarkable feat in less than 4 years to go to the registration centres and get registered.

Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, John Boadu warned against the blatant ignorance of the safety protocols as was witnessed on the first day of the registration.

“If you believe that what Nana Akufo-Addo has done within just 3 and half years is satisfactory, you don’t have to sit at home and clap your hands. It is time to go to the registration centres in your constituencies and be patience and observe the social distancing protocols . . ." he called out.

He reiterated on the need for Ghanaians in general to adhere to the safety protocols, especially with regards to social distancing, warning that the novel coronavirus should not take over the country after the registration is over.

“ . . We must continue to observe the social distancing and be fast to get registered and not wait for the rush hour which is something we are fond of doing. When it is your turn in the 6 days, you have to find time to go and register on time,” he advised.

However, John Boadu indicated that their observation of the first day of the registration exercise has been good generally except that the EC at some centres could not meet their target of 100 registrants per day due to some hitches with the machines.

He therefore was hopeful that the subsequent days of the registration exercise will be fruitful for the Electoral Commission (EC) to meet their target as stipulated.
