Kofi Jumah accuses EC of causing a bloated biometric voters’ register. 18-06-12



M.P. for Asokwa, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, is alleging the biometric voters’ register is bloated, and he blames the Electoral Commission for the development.

He says his own checks from E.C’s figures on the recent biometric exercise indicate there five per cent more registered voters than anticipated.

Though the commission is expected to release official figures next week, sources close to the EC put the total number of registered voters at almost 14 million.

Mr. Jumah says by the figures in the public domain , the voters’ register is  bloated more than ever, adding the purpose of the biometric system is a “total failure”. 

The NPP M.P. and former Deputy Minister for Local Government spoke to Nhyira FM’s Kofi Asante in Kumasi.
