Member of Parliament(MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has expressed worry over the silence of the National Peace Council and Christian Council of Ghana over claims by former President John Dramani Mahama that there will be chaos in Ghana if the Electoral Commission (EC) goes ahead to compile of a new voters’ register.

Former President John Dramani Mahama cautioned the Electoral Commission (EC) against the compilation of a new voters’ register indicating it is a recipe for violence

Reiterating the stance of the coalition against a new voters’ register, he said the time left for the general election is woefully inadequate to undertake the exercise.

Speaking to some Western Region fisher folks who paid a courtesy call on him at his Cantonments office last Wednesday, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer said EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa and her outfit will be held responsible if the country is plunged into turmoil after the 2020 general elections.

“So if on December 7, 2020, we all go to our polling stations to vote and the machines fail or a lot of people don’t find their names and the election doesn’t go down well, then what are we going to do.

That is why we [Inter-Party Resistance Against New Voters’ Register] are telling Jean Mensa and her outfit that they should be careful,” he added.

But reacting to this, Kennedy Agyapong expressed shock at the silence of the Peace Council and Christian council of Ghana.

According to him, these bodies should come out and condemn the childishness of the NDC flagbearer.

“The problem I have in Ghana is that if there is a problem and it’s about the NDC, Peace Council, Christian Council, all the NGOs and whatever, nobody will say anything about it because I’ve not heard anybody condemning Mahama’s statement.” He noted.

The legislator observed that Mahama’s stance is a clear indication that the old voters’ register has challenges that needs to be addressed.
