The National Peace Council has urged the security agencies to thoroughly investigate allegations of the registration if some foreigners in the country.

The Council believes the move will enhance the credibility of the new electoral roll ahead of the upcoming general elections while reposing confidence in the roll.

"The Electoral Commission, the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) and the Ghana Police Service should leave no stone unturned in investigating the circumstances that led to the registration of some 66 persons purported to be citizens of our neighbouring country La Cote d'Ivoire at Banda Constituency in the Bono Region," it said.

Some weeks ago, the two major political parties pointed accusing figures at each other for busing some non-Ghanaians to some registration centres to Banda in the Bono Region to secure voters registration cards.

On August 10, the NPP General Secretary John Boadu alleged that NDC’s Johnson Asiedu Nketia orchestrated the registration, a claim which the latter fought vehemently.

In the Council's third statement on the voters' registration exercise, the body urged that accomplices found to have aided the illegality are made to "face the full rigors of the electoral laws of Ghana."

The Peace Council is aware of some resistance sustained by the EC from some political parties with regards to the conduct of the exercise.

But the August 16 statement signed by Most Rev Prof Emmanuel Asante, commended the commission for surmounting those obstacles.

"It is, therefore, refreshing that regardless of these initial bottlenecks, the Electoral Commission has been able to complete the exercise of compiling a New Voters' within the time schedule," the Peace Council said.
