EC WILL DELIVER CREDIBLE ELECTIONS ...Says Yahaya Mahama (PAGE 17)

THE Upper West Regional Director of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mr Yahaya Mahama, has given the assurance that the commission will deliver credible, free and fair elections whose results will be acceptable to both the victor and the vanquished.
He, therefore, urged Ghanaians to continue to have trust in the activities of the commission.
"I wish to assure you that the commission will live up to expectation to meet the aspirations of all Ghanaians and also demonstrate to the whole world that Ghana’s EC has, indeed, come of age," he added.
Mr Mahama gave the assurance after a float organised by the EC to create awareness, of the revision of the voters register at Wa.
He said the EC was revising the register in preparation towards the December general election and, therefore, enjoined those who had attained the voting age of 18 and any adult who, for one reason or another, had not registered before to take advantage of the opportunity.
He indicated that it was an offence for anybody who had already registered to register again.
"Besides, the revision exercise is not meant to replace lost voter cards or to transfer votes to enable people who have moved residence to be able to vote at their new or current locations," he said
Mr Mahama entreated all Ghanaians to be ambassadors of the commission by spreading the message encouraging persons who qualified to register.
He advised all individuals, as well as groups, to play their part diligently so that at the end of the day Ghana would be the victor.
