Photos: Prez registers for voter’s ID card, urges Ghanaians to do same
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his family, on Monday, registered for the new voter ID card at the Rock of Ages registration centre at Kyebi in the Eastern Region.
He urged the general public to go out and register as the registration exercise is set to end on August 6, 2020.
“I want to encourage everybody, we still have three days to go, everybody who hasn’t registered should try and register so that when the d-day comes, you can also participate in choosing the government of your choice.
“What will be sad, is to sit in the house and then have people take the decision for you. It is better that everybody who has not yet registered comes out and register. It is a simple process it is not complicated,” he indicated.
He then commended the Electoral Commission and officials at the Rock of Ages registration centre for the smooth registration process and the adherence to COVID-19 safety protocols.
The president also stated that the December elections was an opportunity for Ghanaians to take a decision and give him another four-year term.
“In 2016, I asked the people of Ghana to give me a chance and see my handiwork, they gave me the chance so it is now to them to decide how they see the work.
“I told them to try me, and they have tried me so it behoves on them to decide if it is good or bad. On my part, I have done my best,” he added.
The President also visited some registration centres in the constituency.
President Akufo-Addo and his entourage will be in the Eastern Region for some days for a working visit.
He is expected to cut sod for the commencement of some infrastructural projects and inspect ongoing ones.
