The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has expressed his satisfaction with the initial week of the limited voter registration exercise.

Commencing on Tuesday, September 12, the Electoral Commission launched this registration effort with the aim of enrolling first-time voters who have yet to obtain their Voter ID cards.

Despite opposition from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and certain civil society organizations, the registration process has been ongoing at the district offices of the Electoral Commission nationwide.

During the first week, there were reports of system failures in some areas, which necessitated the commission's officers to resort to offline registrations.

Additionally, long queues were observed at certain registration centers, mainly due to the restriction of registration to the commission's district offices.

Salam Mustapha conducted tours of various centers, including Ada, Sege, and other constituencies in the national capital, and he commended the impressive turnout and performance of the Electoral Commission's officers.

On the other hand, the National Democratic Congress accused the commission of obstructing registration in its strongholds. The opposition party claimed that the majority of the areas experiencing system challenges were situated in their strongholds exclusively.

However, Salam Mustapha refuted the NDC's allegations, asserting that the challenges encountered were not limited to any particular district but were widespread. He provided examples from the Ashanti region and other significant NPP strongholds to support his argument.
