President Akufo-Addo has urged newly-turned 18-year-olds to take part in the ongoing Electoral Commission's limited voter registration exercise.

He emphasized that those aspiring to vote in the December election must register accordingly.

Addressing a gathering at a mini rally in Dobro following a visit to Blue Skies Limited, President Akufo-Addo expressed his desire to witness Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia elected as President of Ghana after the December polls.

“This is our election year and we have the limited registration has started. Anybody who hasn’t registered and is eligible should go and register. This is because your right to vote is your power.

“Also, when the time is up for the voting, our job is simple. The person I defeated and my work, since I took over, seems not to please him, I cannot hand over power to such a person. He will destroy whatever we have done when he comes,” he stated.

“…I am pleading with you to vote for the person I have worked with for the past seven and half years. I have faith in him and I know that he will come and continue the work I have begun as Dr. Mahamamudu Bawumia.”

The Electoral Commission has commenced a nationwide limited registration exercise for individuals who have turned eighteen. The exercise started today, May 7, and is scheduled to conclude on May 20.

However, there have been reports of technical challenges in several locations, hindering the smooth registration of eligible Ghanaian citizens.
