“At least things are beginning to work in the country again and I’m very confident that when it comes to the day of accounting on the 7th December, the Ghanaian people will say Nana you have done well and I know that the work has been done and appreciated”.

EC’s decision to compile new register ‘makes a lot of sense’ – Akufo-Addo
President Nana Akufo-Addo also told the Ghanaian community in Oslo that the Electoral Commission’s (EC) plan to compile a new voters’ register ahead of the 2020 general elections makes a lot of sense.
For this reason, the President said the electoral management body should be allowed to do its work.
“We are getting ourselves ready for December 7. The Electoral Commission is going to compile a new register. It appears there is now an eight-year cycle for the EC to compile a register. They did so in 2012 and 2004. So with these last three including this one are all in the eight-year cycle. I think it makes a lot of sense. The national census itself is done on a ten-year basis.”
