The NPP flagbearer talked about issues including the Electoral Commission’s voters’ registration exercise which begins Tuesday, June 30, and the deployment of military personnel to borders across the country.
“Let me state, without any form of equivocation, that these deployments are not in any way intended to intimidate or prevent eligible Ghanaians from registering to vote in December. They are there for their express purpose, which is to guard our borders. That is the limit of their remit, and they will not be permitted to stray beyond that remit,” Akufo-Addo said.
