Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Scores of residents in the Krachi East Municipality of the Oti Region, who have attained 18-years and above on Monday, besieged the Electoral Commission (EC) offices at Dambai to register for their voter ID cards.<\/b><\/p>\n

They were seen in long queue at the old district Assembly office meant for EC.<\/p>\n

GNA also observed both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) busing prospective registrants on Monday, who thronged the EC office for the registration exercise.<\/p>\n

Speaking to GNA, Mr Malachi Mensah, agent for the NPP described the process as smooth and quick.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first batch of people, who came along with their national identification card were able to register in earnest,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mensah said those who came along with guarantors had made the process very slow and attributed the overcrowding to today\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n

Mr. Richard Sarfo Katanka, the agent for the NDC, described the exercise as peaceful with no issues.<\/p>\n

He stated that despite the heavy rain, people kept coming in to register.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kafui Klutse, the Municipal Director of the Electoral Commission (EC), told the GNA that it took less than twelve minutes, depending on the person\u2019s situation to complete and issue a card.<\/p>\n

He explained that the process was not complicated, adding that the number of registrants was overwhelming.<\/p>\n
