Member of Parliament for the Assin Central has labelled the new CI for the 2024 general election as useless.
According to the outspoken member of the parliament, the new CI has nothing good to add to the country’s already chaotic woes. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has slammed the Electoral Commission (EC) over its decision to use the Ghana Card as the sole document for registration for the 2024 general elections.
The new Constitutional Instrument (CI) seeks to see the elimination of the guarantor system for all first-time registrants to the electoral register.

I am against it. Ghana has people taking bogus decisions. We have a whole Ghana passport, but you (EC) claim that to register to vote you can’t use it to register as a voter. What makes me know that I am a Ghanaian? It is my passport
His comments come as a surprise as members of the NPP side in Parliament had constantly supported the EC in its move for the Ghana card to be used as the only source of identification for the voters register.
But as it stands, the NDC Members of Parliament are being whipped to be in the house at all costs to kick against the proposed CI.
