The Volta Regional Secretariat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is issuing a caution to any political party with plans to import foreigners to participate in the upcoming limited voter registration exercise, advising them to revise their strategy.

Pope Yao Yevoo, the Regional Secretary of the NPP, stated in an interview with the Ghana News Agency that the party is collaborating with state agencies at the borders to prevent the infiltration of foreigners into Ghana’s electoral system.

"We are aware that the NDC is reverting to its old tactic of aiding foreigners to register in this limited registration. We are working assiduously with all stakeholders to ensure that this practice is fiercely resisted," he added.

Yevoo mentioned that the party's intelligence and operational machinery had been activated, and he promised uncompromising repercussions for such nation-wrecking activities.

However, Yevoo also encouraged Junior and Senior High students who have just turned 18 to enroll themselves to vote in the upcoming December elections.

He expressed the party's optimism about the registration exercise and noted that they had trained all their stakeholders concerning the exercise, hoping only for a peaceful process across the region.
