The President, Nana Akufo-Addo, during his address to the nation yesterday urged Ghanaians who are all eligible voters to go out in their numbers and register for the new voter’s ID card so that they can all participate in the upcoming general elections come December 7, 2020.

Many Ghanaians who adhered to the President’s advice and went to register for the new voter’s ID have uttered displeasure and outrage in the government and the Electoral Commission of Ghana.

According to reports sighted on social media, many Ghanaians who were able to register for the new voter’s ID card today have expressed that the exercise was unnecessary and a waste of time and money following their observation that the new voter ID card is ‘junk’.

Ghanaians, however, upon examining the mediocre quality of the card took to social media to declare and publish their repugnance.

Per others’ observation, there is no distinction between the old voter ID and the new ID.

Also, some have said that the old ID card looks better and is of more good quality than the new card.

Looking at the comments, I can predict that many Ghanaians won’t show on December 7 to vote.

See some of the comments below:

@NharnarKhetua: “What will happen if I don’t risk my life for this inferior thing.. oh me I’m sleeping koraaa…. it’s show not right to waste your time and the whole nations time for that thing ooo”

@SofiaBondzie: “This is not a party issue oooo, See how the Ghana Card was made. EC was given money and this is an outdated. They should just give us value for money. This type of card exist no longer”

@EdinamVulley: “So what’s the difference between this and the old one”

@Boahemaafynn: “going back home to sleep can’t keep this in my purse”

@Divine Ato Kwame Williams: “After making all sort of noise… are they trying to tell us that they can’t afford common PVC card? See the edges too, trimmed like a baby did it. This will definitely be made again when another party comes to power, don’t ask me why.I didn’t post this for any Party folk to come and lecture me. If you can’t reason enough don’t come closer, you wouldn’t like it.”
