The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, has successfully obtained a voter ID card after being cleared by a District Registration Review Committee in Ketu South.

Social media recently buzzed with claims that Ahiagbah attempted to double-register in the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.

However, Ahiagbah clarified in a May 12 statement that he has been a registered voter in Ketu South since 2000.

He explained that he encountered issues with his biometrics during the 2023 limited voter registration exercise and was advised to address the problem in subsequent registration exercises.

This led to his appearance before the District Registration Review Committee to verify his eligibility to register.

Ahiagbah took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to celebrate his vindication, expressing gratitude and relief following the committee's decision.
"I appeared before the District Registration Review Committee to obtain my voter ID due to a needless registration challenge.

"A big thank you to the National Organizer, Nana Boakye, the Volta Regional Chairman, Makafui Kofi Woanyah, and the constituency party for their support.
It's possible!" he wrote on his social media handle.
