The two-day extension of the limited voters’ registration exercise by the Electoral Commission (EC) has recorded an impressive turnout in the Tamale Metropolis but with limited incidents of shortages of registration forms at some centres. The Zagyuri Anglican Nursery, which is the centre for the Kamina Barracks, Kanvilli and Zagyuri, Primary and Junior High School experienced a relative peaceful registration with 95 people having registered on Monday. However, when the GNA visited the centre on Tuesday morning, as at 10: 35am the registration officials were absent due to a downpour in the Metropolis which started last night and entered into the early hours of Tuesday. There were only four people present at the centre to register with a security officer at post. At the Gumbihini South registration centre at the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Sakassaka 142 people had also registered as at Monday but because of the rains this morning only six people had registered as at 11:00 am. The registration officer said they had ran out of the official registration forms and were using supplementary sheets for the process. He said he believed the supplementary sheets would be enough for the day’s job, adding that, the people would be given chits to come later for their pictures and their registration cards. He said the EC would announce a date for the people to come for their cards. The Vittin/Kotingli registration centre, after registering 110 people on Monday had to close the exercise due to shortage of registration forms. According to the registration officer the centre was on Tuesday given an additional 100 forms which enabled 14 people to register as at the time the GNA was leaving the place. Meanwhile at the Education Ridge/Sanarigu registration centre, 28 people had registered as at midday and there were no reports of violence or shortage of materials. Source: GNA
