Mills’s Name Deleted From Register

The name of the late President John Evans Atta Mills has been deleted from the biometric voters’ register.

The deceased president’s brother, Dr. Cadman Atta Mills, asked the electoral officers to delete the late law professor’s name yesterday.

Dr. Cadman Mills took advantage of the ongoing register exhibition exercise to get his brother’s name out of the system.

He arrived at the Regimanuel Phase 1 Polling Centre on the Spintex Road in Accra, where the late president had his private residence, at about 11:50 am with his driver.

After formally making sure that his particulars were intact in the register, Dr. Mills then asked the exhibition officer, Emmanuel Arhin, to delete his brother’s name from the system.

Dr. Mills was then asked to fill in a form, after which the exhibition officer endorsed it.

President Mills, 68, until his death, had Voter ID No 2079018392.

He died at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra on July 24, after spending three years and seven months as president.
