Ghana: Nana Addo appeals to eligible Ghanaians to register

Leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is calling on eligible Ghanaians to participate in the upcoming limited voters registration exercise.

The exercise has been scheduled to start from Thursday, April 28 and end on Sunday, May 8.

The nationwide exercise under the auspices of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) is expected to register new voters for the 2016 elections.

 On his official Twitter account, Nana Addo asked his followers to “spread the word” on the exercise.

 “Please spread the word about the registration exercise and register,” he tweeted on Sunday, April 24.

 He hash-tagged the tweet ‘Change Is Coming’ and ‘Register For Change’.

Nana Addo’s campaign on Twitter follows that of President John Dramani Mahama, who is spotted in an advertisement by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), persuading young eligible Ghanaians to register.
