The Deputy Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame has expressed his immense satisfaction with the ongoing voter registration exercise, describing it as one of the best in the country's Fourth Republic.

Mr Dame praised the Electoral Commission (EC) and its officials for their commitment and speed, despite the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Deputy AG, who paid a courtesy call to some of the registration centres at East Legon, in the Ayawaso West Wuogun Constituency, insisted that the EC deserves commendation for the work they have done, especially in these last few weeks.

Mr Dame and his wife, Dr Joicelyn Dame, who is a member of the National COVID-19 medical team, distributed food and PPE to EC officials and security personnel at the centres they visited.

The EC commenced the final phase of the registration exercise last week, with over 12 million people registering so far.

Before this new registration exercise, there was a total of 16,845,439 voters on the register, however, the EC decided to create a new roll as they believed the old one was bloated.

This led to some agitation from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) who challenged the EC and the AG's office at the Supreme Court over the registration itself and later the identification process.

However, the AG's legal team, led by Godfred Dame, was successful in their defence, leading to the continuation of the registration exercise.
