The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta Region has urged all victims of the Akosombo and Kpong dam spillage who lost their voter ID cards to actively participate in the replacement process.
This is according to a statement issued and signed by the Volta Regional Communication Officer, Sorkpa Kafui Agbleze
“The Electoral Commission (EC) has assured that replacements will be provided free of charge for all flood victims. This initiative is crucial to ensure that all eligible voters retain their ability to participate in the December 7 and future electoral processes without hindrance,” the party stated.
The party urged all affected individuals to visit the nearest EC offices in their respective districts from May 30 to June 14, 2024, to have their lost voter ID cards replaced.
The party noted that the replacement exercise also applies to those who may want to transfer their votes or apply to vote by proxy.
The Volta Region NDC further emphasised the NDC’s commitment to supporting this process and providing the necessary assistance to facilitate a smooth and efficient replacement procedure.
“Every citizen's right to vote is fundamental and inalienable, and we stand with them to ensure that this right is preserved despite the challenges posed by the unfortunate flood disaster,” the statement read.
The party expressed its sympathies to all citizens affected by the devastating flood disaster caused by spillages from the opening of the floodgates of Akosombo and Kpong Dams by the Volta River Authority (VRA), which affected some 39,000 Ghanaians downstream.
"We recognise the devastating impact this act has had on lives, properties and livelihoods across our beloved region," the party added.
