The Youth Wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has denied allegations by the New Patriotic Party's Youth Organiser that they intend to disrupt the ongoing Limited Voters' Registration exercise.

According to the NDC Youth Wing, the claims are untrue and are a figment of Salam Mustapha's imagination.

In a press statement issued by the party and signed by its Deputy National Youth Organiser, Osman Ayariga, they called on the Ghana Police Service to arrest him if he does not retract and apologise to them.

"We in the NDC unequivocally deny any plans and activities as stated by the ruling party’s National Youth Organizer and urge all Ghanaians and international allies to ignore such a ridiculous and infantile display of leadership weakness by Salam Mustapha."

"We condemn such irresponsible and violent behaviour by a leader who is supposed to promote peace and embrace tranquillity in all his operations and utterances on National discourse."

"He must withdraw the lies and disturbing commentary and apologize or provide evidence if any to support his baseless allegations."

In a Facebook live on Sunday, September 10, the National Youth Organizer of the NPP, Salam Mustapha, accused the opposition NDC of planning to disrupt the limited voter registration exercise.

Mustapha called on the Ghana Police Service to be on the lookout for such attempts and deal with the culprits accordingly.

“The NDC intends to misbehave a lot as the process begins because they want to give the Electoral Commission a bad name. They are mobilizing thugs, bandits, and crooks across the country to attack district officers and other places where the registration will be ongoing.

“I want to urge the Ghana Police Service to be on the lookout for such clandestine and dastardly behaviour from the NDC and it should not be tolerated. We cannot allow dangerous people to destroy our democracy,” Mustapha said.

However, the major opposition party has rejected the allegations and called on the police to arrest for peddling such a "volatile and baseless" statement.

The Electoral Commission has started the 2023 Limited Voters Registration Exercise today, Tuesday, September 12, at all 268 District Offices of the Electoral Commission.

The exercise will end on Monday, October 2.

This is despite a pending injunction application filed against the EC by some opposition political parties that argue that the conduct of the registration at the district offices will disenfranchise a lot of young voters, particularly those in rural areas.

Again, the EC has directed that persons who have attained the age of 18 years since the last registration exercise and those who for one reason or the other did not register in 2020, to visit the District Office where they reside with either their Ghana Card or their Ghana Passport.
