Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president, has issued a warning against adding minors to the voter list.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized how undemocratic this practice is and why it shouldn’t be supported.
The Vice President emphasized that allowing minors to register is not only illegal but also risky for their future when speaking to journalists after touring some Accra voter registration centers.
“It’s not only criminal to do so but you are endangering the future of these minors when you register them at this stage. They will enter into our record books. At a particular age, when they come to retirement, they will be retired at a very early age, and you will have destroyed their future for them. I think that parents should be cognizant of this problem,” he stated.
On Saturday, September 23, 2023, Dr. Bawumia ceased running.
According to a statement made by Dr. Bawumia’s spokesperson Gideon Boako, the vice president will visit a few registration centers across the nation during the campaign break.
Additionally, he will use the visit to implore all party members to exercise caution and put forth great effort in order to meet each constituency’s registration goal by mobilizing eligible people to register for voter ID cards.
Relatively, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has voiced his displeasure with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia‘s performance as Vice President.
He feels that because the Vice President lacks the ability to “think independently,” he is being used as a rubber stamp.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe asserted that Dr. Bawumia would succeed in politics if he could establish his authority during an interview with Face to Face on Citi TV.
He refuted assertions that he is opposed to the Vice President running for president of the NPP, and he added that if he does, he has his support.
