You can’t redefine who a Ghanaian is – Asiedu Nketia takes on EC

Chief Scribe of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr Asiedu Nketia has stated that it is not within the purview of the Electoral Commission (EC) to redefine who a Ghanaian is.

He argues that the 1992 constitution makes it explicitly clear who is qualified to be a Ghanaian and who is not wondering why the EC will in its quest to compile a new voters’ register establish its own set of laws in variance with the constitution.

“You have no right to make new laws to determine who is a Ghanaian because the constitution clearly defines who a Ghanaian is and not the Electoral Commission”, he disclosed to the press while leading a delegation of the Inter Party Resistance Against Compilation of New Voter Register in the Ahafo Region.
