The Manhyia Divisional Police Command in the Ashanti Region has enforced a ban on the display and use of political party materials at the Voter Registration Center in the Oforikrom Constituency.
This measure aims to prevent potential conflicts between political factions.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the constituency has voiced concerns about their opponents distributing New Patriotic Party (NPP) branded exercise books to individuals participating in the ongoing registration process.
The NDC contends that this violates electoral laws. Following discussions with both parties, the police have instructed them to refrain from displaying party insignia at the center, a directive the NDC has agreed to comply with.
Conversely, the NPP acknowledged distributing branded exercise books to registrants but denied allegations of monetary distribution.
Meanwhile, graduates and beneficiaries of the Free SHS policy have taken to the streets of Kumasi to raise awareness about the ongoing registration process.
The Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer of the NPP has urged young people to participate in the registration exercise. To ensure smooth proceedings, the police have increased their presence at various registration centers.
