This is because majority of applicants are failing to provide proof of residence.

Despite registering 216 individuals and issuing voter cards over the past three days, concerns have arisen over the eligibility of some applicants.

The Electoral Commission Officer for Juaboso District, Fatima Kantom, expressed worry over this trend, noting instances where applicants struggled to answer basic questions such as the schools they attended.

Additionally, during today’s registration exercise, five applicants who claimed to live with the NPP parliamentary candidate in Sehwi Benchema failed to provide satisfactory answers during questioning by EC officials.

Madam Kantom appealed to applicants to provide accurate information and urged both political parties involved to refrain from busing applicants to registration centers.

This call comes amid concerns of potential manipulation and fraud in the registration process.

Authorities are working to address these challenges and ensure a fair and transparent process for all eligible voters in the Juaboso District.

The Electoral Commission officer overseeing the registration process, Mrs. Fatima Kantom, disqualified the applicants for their inability to provide satisfactory proof of residence.

One of the disqualified applicants, Moses Ahoi, claimed to hail from Sefwi Wiawso but currently resides in Juaboso.

During the verification process, Ahoi was unable to provide adequate responses to questions posed by the EC officer regarding the location of funeral grounds and the duration of his residency in the town.

Consequently, he was denied registration and asked to leave the registration center.

Subsequent investigations revealed that two other individuals, Benjamin Asante and another unnamed individual, were also disqualified on grounds of insufficient evidence of residence.

Adding to the disqualification count, another individual was also barred from registration, bringing the total number of disqualified applicants to four.

This latest individual said he moved to the town just two months ago.

These disqualifications have sparked contentious debates among the major political parties operating in the area.
