Dr. Hassan Ayariga Exposes EC Over New Voter Register.
The founder and Leader of The All People’s Congress (APC) Dr. Hassan Ayariga has called on Ghanaian to strongly defend their freedom and right to vote otherwise, the Electoral commission will use certain strategic plan to abuse their right to vote through the planned new voter register.
Dr. Ayariga think and believe that the EC is not being honest and sincere to Ghanaians. I am calling on Ghanaians to defend their freedom and rights. We have a credible register and it is still credible enough for the next election. Save mother Ghana from a chaotic situation.
The electoral commission of Ghana have outlined dates and days for the compilation of the new biometric voters register. According to the deputy chairperson of the EC in charge of operations Mr. Samuel Tettey, the EC have set April 18 to May 30 , 2020 for the exercise. He disclosed this in an interview with the Daily Graphic on Wednesday, the 22 January 2020.
Giving details of the EC’s calendar of activities, he said the EC will deploy 8,000 registration devices to cover the 32,000 polling stations across the country. He explained that the EC will use the cluster system for the registration, where four polling stations would form a cluster.
Mr. Tettey said the exercise will be a 43day registration period. Considering the dates and timelines given out by the EC’s Deputy Commissioner for the compilation of the New register, I carefully studied their various proposals and planned activities and brought out these facts Per their assertion of the 43 day Registration period.
Now let’s look at the facts;
With this new features of facial recognition added to the biometric finger print exercise, it would take at least 20 to 30 minutes to register one person. Now let’s do the calculation together;
20 minutes registration period per person
1. In One (1) hour the biometric device will register 3 people
2. In Ten (10) hours From 7am to 5pm the device will register 30 people
3. The 8,000 devices across Ghana will register (8,000 multiplied by 30 people) 240,000 People per day
4. In 43 days the biometric devices will register (43 days multiplied by 240,000 people per day) 10,320,000 Ghanaians .
By the time the EC’s end with the overall registration exercise per the dates and time outlined by them, a total number of 6,000,000 (6million) to 7,000, 000 (7million) Ghanaian voters will be disenfranchised. All things be equal, no challenges, no lateness, no break down of devices, and no technical problems.
30 minutes registration period per person:
1. In one (1) hour the biometric device will register 2 people
2. In Ten (10) hours from 7am to 5pm the device will register 20 people
3. The 8,000 devices across Ghana will register (8,000 multiplied by 20 people) 160,000 people per day
4. In 43 days the biometric devices will register (43 days multiplied by 160,000 people) 6,880,000 Ghanaian voters by the close of the registration exercise.
With this calculation more than 10,000,000 (10million) Ghanaian voters will be disenfranchised by the end of the 43 day registration period.
