He described as a disgrace the guarantor system which was used by persons who do not have the Ghana Card or the Ghana Passport during the mass voter registration exercise.
The guarantor system, the EC claim had been a trusted part of the registration process over the years despite being burdensome.
But Col. Festus Aboagye said the guarantor system cannot ensure a credible register.
"As for the guarantor system, it's a disgrace...It has no objective basis...Very very subjective."
