The NDC has objected to the decision by EC to compile a new voters' register for the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections.

According to the party, the decision defied logic and must be fiercely resisted.

However, the EC said it will begin compiling the new voters register for the December 2020 elections in April.

The commission said it hopes to end the exercise by the end of May for the 2020 parliamentary and presidential election.

The EC has asked Parliament to approve GH¢444,846,663 for the compilation of a new voters register which it believes will be more credible and efficient than the existing one.

He said the budget for the exercise has been approved but the EC is yet to receive the funds.
