Come Monday, 17th June 2019 the Electoral Commission will commence an exercise to register new voters across the country which has been termed as the limited registration exercise. This is constitutional as very soon Ghanaians will go to the polls to elect their various electoral area Assembly Members and Unit Committee Members.
The electoral commission has timetabled it an exercise in specific polling stations within constituencies where new registrants can assess to acquire their voter's ID to enable them to exercise their franchise in all elections.
The Ambassadors of Free SHS are quite not happy with the neglect of our students who this exercise is mostly due them. A research exercise the Ambassadors of Free SHS has conducted through our reps in the various Senior High Schools in the Eastern region indicated that a lot of the free SHS beneficiaries especially those in the second year turned eighteen this year and are qualified to register to enable them to exercise their franchise come next election.
With this arrangement by the electoral commission to conduct the exercise at the district offices and some electoral areas which are not closer to these students, the Ambassadors of Free SHS advise the electoral commission to reconsider their decision to conduct the exercise to benefit these first time registrants in the various senior high schools by setting up a registration centre either in the school or close to it so they can register while in school.
The Ambassadors of Free SHS has gathered information that some heads of the various Senior High Schools who are pro NDC won't release their students out of campus to partake in the upcoming registration exercise for the reason that these beneficiaries of the free SHS will vote for the NPP come 2020 general election and that the only way to avoid this is to prevent them now from registering.
Advise to NPP
The ruling New patriotic party Government has invested a lot in these our students by providing them with free education. The Ambassadors of Free SHS are aware of the intention of catering for these children and relieving the burdens on parents and guardians. Of course, it is to develop a brighter nation's future now through education hence the free SHS. The Ambassadors of Free SHS wouldn't stay aloof watch some nation's reckless to take over the nation to jeopardize the future of our only nation through their propaganda and deceit when these beneficiaries of the free SHS are disenfranchised.
The Ambassadors of Free SHS advise the ruling New Patriotic Party to go beyond thinking about the future of the nation and also think about the evil intention of the John Mahama and the NDC pestering to come to power to reverse the nation. The Ambassadors of Free SHS through our visitation to the beneficiaries of the Free SHS indicate that the students are very grateful and their only way to show their appreciation is to allow them to register and acknowledge Government's good works through their votes to maintain Free SHS.
THIS IS THE POSITION OF THE AMBASSADORS OF FREE SHS
