The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, has strongly refuted claims of duplicate registration that have been making the rounds on social media.

He claims that National Democratic Congress (NDC) operatives are spreading the claims. They are “false and without merit,” according to him.

Ahiagbah, a Ketu South voter who has been registered since 2000, provided a thorough explanation of the circumstances.

He claimed to have received a voter ID from the Electoral Commission (EC) for the general elections of 2020. Nevertheless, he found that his biometrics did not register during the 2023 limited voter registration drive, a problem that was not specific to him.

Amid the limited voter registration drive in 2023, Ahiagbah attempted to correct this administrative error by requesting help from EC officials. They told him to apply for inclusion at a later time or to get a new voter ID card in time for the 2024 restricted voter registration period.

He clarified that he encountered an eligibility challenge when he returned to the registration center where he had originally registered in 2020 to address an administrative error made by the EC. He tried to tell the NDC challenger to stop interfering with the registration process, but neither the NDC agents nor the EC officials listened.

Ahiagbah cautioned, “This challenge is a sign of more disruptive acts to come.”

In order to address these tendencies and maintain peace, he pleaded with the EC to act decisively and firmly.

Ahiagbah is determined to follow through with all the required procedures in order to register his name, exercise his democratic right to vote, and back the New Patriotic Party on December 7th, despite the obstacles.

“I am committed to going through all the necessary processes to get my name on the register, exercise my democratic right to vote, and support the New Patriotic Party on December 7th,” Ahiagbah declared.
