The Osie of Avatime, Osie Adza Tekpor VI has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to extend the time frame for the voter registration to minimise the congestion at the registration centres.
His appeal coincides with the commencement of the second batch of Phase One of the exercise in the Avatime Traditional Area and other parts of the Ho West District on Monday.
Osie Adza Tekpor noted that the scenes at other registration centres were cause for concern, as they revealed stampedes and flagrant violations of COVID-19 safety protocols, and slow registration procedures.
In an interview at Vane last weekend, he entreated the EC to take a firm stance to ensure that the health of the people was not compromised during the exercise.
“We need our people to be alive and healthy to contribute to the growth of the country, after the registration,” the Osie added.
He blamed the chaotic scenes at some of the centres on the craving of most eligible persons to meet the deadline, saying that an extension of the exercise would definitely help to allay the fears and anxieties of missing out on the registration among the electorate.
Meanwhile, the head of the EC in the Ho West District, Mrs Kafui Randolph had given the assurance that no eligible person would be left out of the exercise which would take place with strict adherence to COVID-19 safety measures.
“We are set with adequate machines and registration materials for the exercise,” she told this reporter.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
