UFP calls for nationalistic approach to biometric registration

The United Front Party has called on all political parties to have a nationalistic approach to the biometric voter registration exercise instead of the partisanship impediments by some of the parties.

In a statement issued and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Monday by Nana Kusi Poku Listowell, the Communication Director of the party; said that although the political parties have a stake in the activities of the Electoral Commission, they need a national agenda first before party activities.
