This is only going to cost money and put more burden on the ordinary Ghanaian and the worst thing is that, any attempt at a new register will cost money, time and might even bring about the separation and conflicts those so called power hungry fools claim they want to prevent.

Nonsense! your government is useless and we need a better person so let us change the voters register. Every NDC member is afraid because of their daylight robbery.

LOOKING AT THE DESTRUCTION NDC HAS CAUSED TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY IN THE PAST 26 YEARS, ANY TALK ABOUT THIS INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION WINNING THE 2016 GENERAL ELECTIONS, WOULD BE DEEMED AS A BIG INSULT ON THE INTELLIGENCE OF ALL GHANAIANS!!!!!!! INSTEAD OF NDC TALKING ABOUT WINNING THE 2016 ELECTIONS, THEY MUST RATHER RENDER THEIR UNRESERVED AND SINCERE APOLOGIES TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA, FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED. NDC ARE NOT MANAGERS, THEY ARE DAMAGERS!!!!!!!!

Who are the people to be listened to and who are the so-called masses? I say that there should not be a new Voters Register? Whoever is claiming that there are foreigners in the register and ghost names, that person should provide credible evidence for the names to be expunged. Do not tell me again that the EC should listen to the masses. Who are the so-called masses? Has there been any referendum to determine the number of Ghanaians who want a new voters register? Next time, talk for yourself and not others.

AUTHOR: MAHMOUD--- Mr. Mahama is exactly one of the visionless African leaders that have always been accused of misplacing their priorities. Does the NDC government think, despite the massive corruption, they can borrow recklessly and spend their way foolishly into another mandate in 2016, when the nation is over burdened with HIPC and workers wallowing in hunger and over taxed? Governance under the NDC government is all about deceit and 'opium of the people'. They enjoy everything under the sun but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they ask us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they have already loosened theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they asked us to wait for a paradise in three years. The truth is that, everything they promise is a mirage and we will never find comfort under them because; they are con-men with con plans

What a useless venture? The state of the country reflects the useless mindset of the people. Ghanaians are by nature corrupt, dishonest, liars and hypocrites according the chief justice.

All of a sudden nonentities want to portray to the world how close they were to the late President.

Those who had to chat with him for one hour everyday, those Deputy Ministers who had to call him every morning before the man could even brush his teeth, and still those who would be called to the Castle by the late President to express his appreciation for job well done after they had gone to insult political opponents in the media on his behalf. Shameless id.iots raising their egos

I support the International Community observation that we should audit the existing voters register and move forward.The whole world key leaders don't support Nana Addo's campaign for a new voters register.Germany has proposed to offer technical assistance to EC for the audit.UNDP have said they will not give Ghana a pesewa for a new register.Our donor countries are not ready to throw their money away only for Nana Addo to come and rubbish the elections results.Thank you.

My friend, are you Johnny just arrived in the U.S of A or what? Do you actually know the entail of a social security number? In fact, we don't need some damned social security numbers. All we need is a computerised birth and death registration centers across the country for the proper documentation of the citizenry for a better identification card like done across Europe, that's all.

Komla, it is not waste of time. That is what politics is about. Those who are calling for a totally new register as well as those who want this current register despite its agreed limitations are all taking political strategic positions. The EC, by its mandate must stand alone.
I wonder though is a 2-day hearing is enough but at least, this is the first time that the EC has come public on its own to take a stand. Just let's see what the next step will be.

All political parties and various organisations who represent the vast majority of Ghanaians have submitted their findings. It is up to E C to investigate and bring submission. What else again does the E C requires from us again. I think there is confusion within the EC and they don't know what they are doing. All this to me is waste of time and publics money.

The Electoral Commission should immediately start arrangements to have a new voters' register and stop wasting our time and money. This is just commonsense.
