In the bustling Municipality of Ketu South, a significant event unfolded at the local Election Commission (EC) center.
Richard Ahiagba, a well-known figure in the political landscape, and the Communication Director of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) and Deputy Director of Research at the Presidency, arrived to register his name in the electoral rolls.
Ahiagba, known for his activism, was a familiar face but not a familiar resident in the Ketu South Municipality. According to reliable information, Richard Ahiagba hailed from Aflao and not Ketu South.
His arrival at the EC center was met with a wave of contention from the members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). They challenged his registration on the grounds that he was not a resident nor ordinarily resident in the Constituency.
The EC center at Ketu South, usually a place of order and procedure, was suddenly engulfed in a storm of debate and disagreement.
The NDC members stood firm on their challenge, insisting that Ahiagba’s name should not be added to the electoral rolls of a constituency where he did not reside.
In the face of this opposition, Ahiagba made a decision that sent shockwaves through the center. He halted the entire registration process.
The usual hum of activity was replaced by a stunned silence. The day’s proceedings came to an abrupt standstill, marking a momentous day in the history of Ketu South’s EC registration center.
This incident served as a stark reminder of the complexities and challenges that can arise in the limited voter registration process and the importance of clear and fair rules for electoral registration.
It was a day that the people of Ketu South would not soon forget.
However, investigation is ongoing to establish the veracity of the incident in the Ketu South constituency.
