The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Koduah, has assured party members that the launch of an online registration platform will prevent political adversaries from infiltrating the party’s register or engaging in its internal elections.
This platform was established to tackle the difficulties encountered by certain Ghanaians who aspire to join the party but face challenges registering at their designated polling stations due to time limitations.
During a press briefing on Thursday, March 12, Mr. Frimpong Koduah stated that while the registration system is accessible to everyone, measures will be implemented to guarantee that only verified party members are eligible to vote and run for positions in internal elections.
“I have received questions that when we are doing online registration, it means our opponent or people who are not NPP members may use this opportunity to register.
“My simple response to them is that for the registration, every Ghanaian has the right to register to become a member of the New Patriotic Party.
“Even if NDC National Chairman Asiedu Nketiah wants to register to become a member of the NPP because he has realised the government is not performing and has disappointed many Ghanaians, he will be allowed, just like any other NDC member, to register because they might have seen the light. However, to qualify to vote and to contest, certainly there will be verification,” he said.
He also revealed that, in light of concerns regarding attempts by certain party executives to manipulate the registration process, physical registration at polling stations will occur on weekends throughout March.
